I got this table in my MySQL database, 'users'. It has the fields 'id' and 'value'.
Now, I want to update lots of rows in this table with a single SQL query, but many rows should get a different value. Currently, I'm using this:
UPDATE users
SET value = CASE id
WHEN 1 THEN 53
WHEN 2 THEN 65
WHEN 3 THEN 47
WHEN 4 THEN 53
WHEN 5 THEN 47
END
WHERE id IN (1,2,3,4,5)
This works. But I feel I could do some optimization since there are only about 3 or 4 different values I'm assigning to the rows. As you can see, right now these are 47, 53 and 65. Is there a way I can update all rows that get the same value simultaneously within the same query? Or, is there another way I can optimize this?
