What is wrong with this SQL statement?!

taroo2ah
Enviroment: MySQL 5, PHP 5, Windows, Apache.
Database: MyTable [id, Field1, Field2].
Case: I want to reverse the value of Field1 and Field2 where Field2 = $SomeVal. I have wrote the following statement but it didn't work:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. 'update MyTable set Field1 = @OldField2 := Filed2, Field2 = @OldField1 := Field1 where Field2 = 1250';
Question: What is wrong with the above statement since it allways affects 0 rows knowing that there are many rows with Field2=1250! can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I give up with "user variables". Is there anyway to reverse 2 values of 2 columns of a MySQL database?!!

Hi there,

Are you updating String or Integer?
