MySQL UPDATE not working when text similar -
update: looks mysql ignores trailing space on query 'media services '
i have following code:
select * table company = 'media services ' this brings 132 rows (note space @ end of company name). need remove space, have tried using following code:
update table set company = 'media services' company = 'media services ' the output 0 rows affected - trying understand why might be?
any ideas , suggestions don't want manually change 132 records.
not sure try using like operator instead like
update table set company = 'media services' company 'media services%' per latest comment, it's strong guess there no trailing spaces in company value as. it's when where company = 'media services '; ignores trailing space , gives matched result.
so essentially, update never happens since there nothing update , update says 0 rows affected.
