627. Swap Salary
Easy
SQL Schema
Table: Salary
+-------------+----------+
| Column Name | Type |
+-------------+----------+
| id | int |
| name | varchar |
| sex | ENUM |
| salary | int |
+-------------+----------+
id is the primary key for this table.
The sex column is ENUM value of type ('m', 'f').
The table contains information about an employee.
Write an SQL query 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.
The query result format is in the following example.
Example 1:
Input:
Salary table:
+----+------+-----+--------+
| id | name | sex | salary |
+----+------+-----+--------+
| 1 | A | m | 2500 |
| 2 | B | f | 1500 |
| 3 | C | m | 5500 |
| 4 | D | f | 500 |
+----+------+-----+--------+
Output:
+----+------+-----+--------+
| id | name | sex | salary |
+----+------+-----+--------+
| 1 | A | f | 2500 |
| 2 | B | m | 1500 |
| 3 | C | f | 5500 |
| 4 | D | m | 500 |
+----+------+-----+--------+
Explanation:
(1, A) and (3, C) were changed from 'm' to 'f'.
(2, B) and (4, D) were changed from 'f' to 'm'.
Solution
# Write your MySQL query statement below
UPDATE Salary SET sex = CASE WHEN sex = 'm' THEN 'f' ELSE 'm' END WHERE TRUE;
