>update TEST_NOIDX  set CREATETIME=now() where ID in ( select a.ID from TEST_NOIDX a where a.VNAME='Aa');
ERROR 1093 (HY000): You can't specify target table 'TEST_NOIDX' for update in FROM clause>update TEST_NOIDX b set b.CREATETIME=now() where b.ID in ( select a.ID from TEST_NOIDX a where a.VNAME='Aa');
ERROR 1093 (HY000): You can't specify target table 'b' for update in FROM clause

从oracle转mysql的同志们，估计都会遇到上面这种情况，怎么这样的sql执行不了。

为什么会这样？

字面意思就是update的表不能出现在from语句中，原因是mysql对子查询的支持是比较薄弱的 。

而且手册上面说下面的这些情况都会报错

·  In general, you cannot modify a table and select from the same table in a subquery. For example, this limitation applies to statements of the following forms:
DELETE FROM t WHERE ... (SELECT ... FROM t ...);
UPDATE t ... WHERE col = (SELECT ... FROM t ...);
{INSERT|REPLACE} INTO t (SELECT ... FROM t ...);
Exception: The preceding prohibition does not apply if you are using a subquery for the modified table in the FROM clause. Example:
UPDATE t ... WHERE col = (SELECT (SELECT ... FROM t...) AS _t ...);

1.改成inner join,手册上的方法。

2.多加一个嵌套。
