The MySQL UPDATE statement is used to modify the values of the existing row in a table. You can also update a single row or multiple rows at the same time using UPDATE command. UPDATE command also used with WHERE clause. When using WHERE clause you can update a specific record that you want to update.

Following is the UPDATE statement syntax that provided MySQL:
         UPDATE table_name
         SET column_name_1 = values_1, column_name_2 = values_1, …
         WHERE condition;

Here is
UPDATE – this command updates the values or data or records in the table.
table_name – this is table name which table data you want to update.
SET – it specifies which columns record you want to update with the new values. For update, many rows record you can use a comma separated.
column_name_1 and column_name_2 – this column name is which column records you want to update.
values_1 and values_2 – this one is you can set new values for an update on previous values.
WHERE – this WHERE clause using specific record will update.
condition – specify the condition for the update.
For Example –
Step 1:
Here is the, we will create a table for an employee in the database.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS employee (
                   e_id int (10) PRIMARY KEY,
                   e_firstname varchar (50) NOT NULL,
                   e_lastname varchar (50) NOT NULL,
                   e_age int (10),
                   e_city varchar (250)
e_sex char (1)
e_phnumber int (15) NOT NULL
)

Step 2:
Here we insert record in the employee table.
INSERT INTO employee (
  ‘e_id’, ’e_firstname’, ’e_lastname’,
  ’e_age’, ’e_city’, ’e_sex’,
  ’e_phnumber’
)
VALUES
  (
    1, ‘Hone’, ‘Reus’, 25, ‘San Jose’, ‘M’, ‘ + 1 555 555 1111’
  ),
  (
    2, ‘Cries’, ’Fence’, 23, ’Fresno’, ’F’, ’ +1 555 555 1111’
  );

Step 3:
Now we want to update the second record from the employee table.
Here is the second row
‘e_id’ ’e_firstname’ ’e_lastname’ ’e_age’ ’e_city’ ’e_sex’ ’e_phnumber’
  2         Cries              Fence          23      Fresno      F      +1 555 555 1111
So we want to update employee city ‘Fresno’ to update city ‘Oakland’ and also update employee age ’23’ to ‘26’ from the above records.
         UPDATE employee
         SET e_age = 26, e_city = ‘Oakland’
         WHERE e_id = 2;
Then it will update record.
‘e_id’ ’e_firstname’ ’e_lastname’ ’e_age’ ’e_city’   ’e_sex’ ’e_phnumber’
  2     Cries       Fence       26  Oakland       F    +1 555 555 1111

For another example without using WHERE clause:

‘e_id’ ’e_firstname’ ’e_lastname’ ’e_age’ ’e_city’  ’e_sex’ ’e_phnumber’
  1    Hone        Reus    25    San Jose   M   +1 555 555 1111
 2     Cries         Fence    23     Fresno     F     +1 555 555 1111

Here we want to update city for all employee is Oakland then you can write the following query:
          UPDATE employee
          SET e_city = ‘Oakland’;
Then the entire employee’s city will update to ‘Oakland’

‘e_id’ ’e_firstname’ ’e_lastname’ ’e_age’ ’e_city’   ’e_sex’ ’e_phnumber’
  1   Hone        Reus      25  Oakland      M    +1 555 555 1111
 2    Cries        Fence        23  Oakland      F      +1 555 555 1111

In this article, we are learned about the UPDATE statement. You can update one or more records at a time. Using WHERE clause you can specify condition.
