Update Column Value in Oracle: Quick Guide

To change the values of columns in an Oracle database table, you can use the UPDATE statement. Here is an example:

Suppose there is a table called “employees” which contains columns for id, name, and salary. To change the salary of the employee with an id of 1 to 1000, you can execute the following SQL statement:

UPDATE employees
SET salary = 1000
WHERE id = 1;

This will update the salary value of the employee with id 1 in the “employees” table to 1000. You can modify the WHERE clause as needed to match specific conditions in order to update the appropriate rows.
