Node.js MySQL Update Records

The UPDATE command is used to update records in the table.

Example

Update city in “employees” table where id is 1.

Create a js file named “update” in DBexample folder and put the following data into it:

var mysql = require('mysql');  

var con = mysql.createConnection({  

host: "localhost",  

user: "root",  

password: "12345",  

database: "javatpoint"  

});  

con.connect(function(err) {  

if (err) throw err;  

var sql = "UPDATE employees SET city = 'Delhi' WHERE city = 'Allahabad'";  

con.query(sql, function (err, result) {  

if (err) throw err;  

console.log(result.affectedRows + " record(s) updated");  

});  

});  

Now open command terminal and run the following command:

Node update.js  

It will change the city of the id 1 is to Delhi which is prior Allahabad.

You can check the updated record in the new table:
