Given a table salary, such as the one below, that has m=male and f=female values. Swap all f and m values (i.e., change all f values to m and vice versa) with a single update query and no intermediate temp table. For example:
| id | name | sex | salary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | m | 2500 |
| 2 | B | f | 1500 |
| 3 | C | m | 5500 |
| 4 | D | f | 500 |
After running your query, the above salary table should have the following rows:
| id | name | sex | salary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | f | 2500 |
| 2 | B | m | 1500 |
| 3 | C | f | 5500 |
| 4 | D | m | 500 |
update `salary` set `sex` = if(`sex` = 'f', 'm', 'f');If you have a better solution, you can star and fork Leetcode-database-problem then create a pull request.
