In this article, we are going to update multiple rows in the same query in PostgreSQL using Pyscopg2in Python.
We can update multiple values at once by using the update clause from PostgreSQL. First, we import the psycopg2 package and establish a connection to a PostgreSQL database using the pyscopg2.connect() method.
Syntax of update clause:
UPDATE "table" SET "column_one" = value1, "column_two" = value2, "column_three" = valueN WHERE condition;
Database Used
Below is the implementation:
Python3
import psycopg2 conn = psycopg2.connect( database = "classroom_database" , user = 'postgres' , password = 'pass' , host = '127.0.0.1' , port = '5432' ) conn.autocommit = True cursor = conn.cursor() sql = ''' update student_details set cgpa = 9.5 , branch = 'AE' where student_name = 'rahul';''' cursor.execute(sql) sql1 = '''select * from student_details;''' cursor.execute(sql1) for i in cursor.fetchall(): print (i) conn.commit() conn.close() |
Output:
(12124468, 'arjun', 9.7, 'arjun19@gmail.com', 'CSE') (12124469, 'DIYA', 9.4, 'diya@gmail.com', 'CSE') (12124466, 'sarah', 9.8, 'sarah1212@gmail.com', 'CSE') (12124470, 'priya', 8.8, 'priya@gmail.com', 'CSE') (12124467, 'rahul', 9.5, 'rahul9@gmail.com', 'AE')
