My query

 UPDATE 
  `operations_per_assembly` 
   JOIN `operations` 
     ON `operations`.`id` = `operations_per_assembly`.`operation_id` 
   SET `operations_per_assembly`.`is_mechanical` = '4' 
   WHERE `operations_per_assembly`.`operation_id` = `operations`.`id` 
   AND `operations_per_assembly`.repair_type_id = 3 

Please help me.

Answer 1

Put the repair_type_id = 3 condition in the join conditions. This way you are telling to join only on repair_type_id = 3 so you will only get those records.

  UPDATE 
  `operations_per_assembly` 
   JOIN `operations` 
     ON `operations`.`id` = `operations_per_assembly`.`operation_id` AND `operations`.repair_type_id = 3
   SET `operations_per_assembly`.`is_mechanical` = '4' 

Answer 2

UPDATE `operations_per_assembly` a
JOIN `operations` b
   ON a.operation_id = b.id
SET a.is_mechanical = '4' 
WHERE codition (user proper condition)

Answer 3

In the WHERE clause you are using operations_per_assembly . repair_type_id but your operations_per_assembly table does not have repair_type_id in it.

So try the below query:

UPDATE `operations_per_assembly` PAS
JOIN `operations` OPE ON OPE.`id` = PAS.`operation_id`
SET PAS.`is_mechanical` = '4'
WHERE OPE.repair_type_id = 3
