Při aktualizaci duplicitního klíče bych použil insert .. on duplicate key update ...
tvrzení. Něco jako toto:
insert into highscore set
name = :name,
score = :new_score
on duplicate key update
score = greatest(score, :new_score)
name
sloupec by měl být indexován jako unique
.
Testovací skript:
create table player (
name varchar(32) primary key,
score int not null default 0
);
-- create new players
insert into player set name = 'foo', score = 100
on duplicate key update score = greatest(score, 100);
insert into player set name = 'bar', score = 100
on duplicate key update score = greatest(score, 100);
insert into player set name = 'baz', score = 100
on duplicate key update score = greatest(score, 100);
-- update score of existing player
insert into player set name = 'bar', score = 200
on duplicate key update score = greatest(score, 200);
Výstup select * from player
:
+------+-------+
| name | score |
+------+-------+
| bar | 200 |
