Swap Salary
Problem
Table: Salary
+-------------+----------+
| Column Name | Type |
+-------------+----------+
| id | int |
| name | varchar |
| sex | ENUM |
| salary | int |
+-------------+----------+
id is the primary key (column with unique values) for this table.
The sex column is ENUM (category) value of type ('m', 'f').
The table contains information about an employee.
Write a solution to swap all 'f'
and 'm'
values (i.e., change all 'f'
values to 'm'
and vice versa) with a single update statement and no intermediate temporary tables.
Note that you must write a single update statement, do not write any select statement for this problem.
Solution
The problem Swap Salary
can be solved using a function IF
.
Implementation
# Write your MySQL query statement below
UPDATE salary SET sex = IF(sex = 'm', 'f', 'm');
