Java JDBC UPDATE Add Number?

Question

So let's say I have an int column in MySQL. I want to update that column by adding to it, without running a SELECT query to get the number and add it. Is this possible?

Answer 1

 update tablename set field = field + 1 where condition

This is a direct MySql update command to do so. You didn't mention if you were using a specific ORM like Hibernate or anything, but this same concept can be applied in HQL etc.
