I'm trying to create mysql UPDATE query that will take parameters. In addition I want to append to the end of the field if the field isnt empty. For that I'm using CASE statement. Here's my query in doctrine (from silex):
$query = "UPDATE table SET filed = (
CASE WHEN field = ''
THEN :param1
ELSE concat(field, :param1)
END)
WHERE id=:param2";
$app['db']['test_db']->executeUpdate($sql, array('param1' => $user_text, 'param2' => $selected_id));
Now I want to convert it to fluent or raw query so I can use it in Laravel 4.
Here's my code:
$param1 = "String..."; // user string
$param2 = 45; // id
DB:connection('test_db')->statement("UPDATE table SET field =(
case
WHEN field=''
THEN $param1
ELSE concat(field, $param1)
END)
WHERE id=$param2");
When I execute this query in Laravel I see
Syntax error or access violation: 1064
Any help will be appreciated.
