Three Table UPDATE and JOIN result in Error 1064

Question

I am trying to execute the following code:

UPDATE 
    CustomerShowing
SET 
    CustomerShowing.rate = 5
FROM 
    CustomerShowing
INNER JOIN 
    Showing
ON 
    CustomerShowing.showid = Showing.showid
INNER JOIN 
    Movie
ON 
    Showing.movieid = Movie.movieid
WHERE 
    Movie.name='Batman';

however I am receiving the following error:

ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 86: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'FROM CustomerShowing INNER JOIN Showing ON CustomerShowing.ShowingID = Showing' at line 3

How could I fix this? I am using MySQL version 5.5.53 .

Answer 1

MySQL uses a different syntax than SQL-Server.

 UPDATE CustomerShowing
 INNER JOIN Showing ON CustomerShowing.showid = Showing.showid
 INNER JOIN Movie ON Showing.movieid = Movie.movieid
 SET CustomerShowing.rate = 5
 WHERE Movie.name='Batman';
