# [[Python MySQL Update]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
UPDATE follows the identical commit()-required, WHERE-critical, %s-parameterized pattern as INSERT and DELETE — by this point in the series, the risk warnings are a repeated refrain across every mutating SQL operation. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **`UPDATE ... SET ... WHERE ...`** — modifies matching records. [S1]
- **`mydb.commit()`** — required for the update to persist. [S1]
- **Missing WHERE = update everything** — same risk as raw SQL UPDATE. [S1]
- **`mycursor.rowcount`** — number of rows affected. [S1]
- **Parameterized update** — `%s` placeholders for both the SET value and the WHERE condition. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Basic update: `sql = "UPDATE customers SET address = 'Canyon 123' WHERE address = 'Valley 345'"; mycursor.execute(sql); mydb.commit(); print(mycursor.rowcount, "record(s) affected")`. [S1]
- Parameterized update: `sql = "UPDATE customers SET address = %s WHERE address = %s"; val = ("Valley 345", "Canyon 123"); mycursor.execute(sql, val); mydb.commit()`. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
소스에서 모순되는 정보는 발견되지 않음.

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — SQL Update의 WHERE 필수 규칙과 commit() 요구사항이 mysql.connector에서도 동일하게 적용된다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Parameterized update with two placeholders (Python):
```python
sql = "UPDATE customers SET address = %s WHERE address = %s"
val = ("Valley 345", "Canyon 123")
mycursor.execute(sql, val)
mydb.commit()
print(mycursor.rowcount, "record(s) affected")
```
