I have the following:
$query = $db->prepare("UPDATE name SET one=?,two=?,three=? WHERE id = ?"); $query->bindParam(1, $one); $query->bindParam(2, $two); $query->bindParam(3, $three); $query->bindParam(4, $id);
one
and three
should always be updated.
However, how can I update two
only if it is null/empty?
I can do this in a separate command, though how can I achieve this in one prepared statement?
I am using SQLite3

Answer
Use a CASE
expression for column two
:
UPDATE name SET one=?, two=CASE WHEN two IS NULL THEN ? ELSE two END, three=? WHERE id = ?
Or with COALESCE()
:
UPDATE name SET one=?, two=COALESCE(two, ?), three=? WHERE id = ?
