postgresql UPDATE error " ERROR: invalid input syntax for type boolean: "

postgresql

Solution

Try:

UPDATE categories 
SET epekcategoryid='27af8b1e-c0c9-4084-8304-256b2ae0c8b2',
    epekparentcategoryid='root' 
WHERE categoryId='281' 
  and siteid='0' 
  and categoryparentid='-1';

You must separate fields in `SET` part with "`,`" , not with "`AND`"

Problem

I'm trying to make a simple update query on postgresql. I don't really understand the error as there is no boolean value or column type. Here is the log : ``` cat=> UPDATE categories SET epekcategoryid='27af8b1e-c0c9-4084-8304-256b2ae0c8b2' and epekparentcategoryid='root' WHERE categoryId='281' and siteid='0' and categoryparentid='-1'; ERROR: invalid input syntax for type boolean: "27af8b1e-c0c9-4084-8304-256b2ae0c8b2" LINE 1: UPDATE categories SET epekcategoryid='27af8b1e-c0c9-4084-830... ``` The table config : ``` cat=> \d categories; Table "public.categories" Column | Type | Modifiers ----------------------+-----------------------+----------- categoryid | character varying(32) | categoryname | text | siteid | integer | categoryparentid | character varying(32) | status | integer | default 0 epekcategoryid | text | epekparentcategoryid | text | categorylevel | character varying(37) | categoryidpath | character varying(37) | ```
