Question 1

How do you update rows in a database table?

Answer 1

“UPDATE” statement:

UPDATE table_name
SET column1 = value1, column2 = value2, …
WHERE some_column = some_value;

Question 2

Why is it important to include a where clause in your update statements?

Answer 2

It is important to include a “WHERE” clause in your update statements because without it, the update statement will modify all rows in the table, which could result in unintended data changes or loss.
