I've got a Postgres DB with a table named "precipitazione". What I want to do is update its column "quantita" when it shows a value of -9999. My statement : 

 UPDATE precipitazione SET quantita = 0 WHERE quantita = -9999;

is not working(It is not working in the sense that the query won't be executed. It gives me a syntax error "near SET") I also tried to set "quantita" to DEFAULT (which is zero),but it's still not working.

SELECT * FROM precipitazione WHERE quantita = -9999;

is working.

Postgres VERSION: PostgreSQL 9.3.10

  • There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your update statement. Is this the only statement in the batch that you are trying to execute? Commented Dec 9, 2015 at 17:06
  • And what is the (exact) error? Commented Dec 9, 2015 at 17:06

    If you are using phppgadmin this is a known bug. Your query is ok, try it in psql. Commented Dec 9, 2015 at 20:21
