i want to update a table column by taking i/p from two tables in a single query.
This is what i have tried.
JavaScript
x
$query="UPDATE all_stores a
inner join i_v i on
a.id = i.child_id
set a.qty = (a.qty-i.qty)";
But this is not updating the table.
Where Table-all_stores is:
JavaScript
id- name qty - dec_qty
1 a1 68 0
2 b2 32 0
3 c3 12 0
4 d4 43 0
And table-i_v is:
JavaScript
id- name qty - child_id
1 a1 12 1
2 a2 32 2
3 a1 11 1
4 a1 23 1

Answer
if I understand correctly , you want to do this :
JavaScript
UPDATE all_stores a
set a.qty = (a.qty-(select sum(qty) from i_v i where a.id = i.id))
