我有一个包含列authors
的表,其中包含不同文章(不同rows
)的作者姓名。我想添加一个新列,其中包含每个作者的唯一索引,即。我可以在author
列中为每次出现的狄更斯(只是一个随机选择)说12。
可以通过mySQL查询完成,还是我必须编写一个新脚本来执行此操作?

请参阅SQL Fiddle
-- set up tables
create table Authors (
id int(11) not null auto_increment,
name varchar(64),
primary key(id)
);
create table Books (
id int(11) not null auto_increment,
name varchar(64),
author varchar(64),
primary key(id)
);
-- populate Authors table, giving each author a unique ID
insert into Authors (name)
select distinct author from Books;
-- Add an author_id column to the Books table
alter table Books add author_id int(11) after author;
-- Update the Books table, filling in the author_ids
update Books b, Authors a
set b.author_id = a.id
where b.author = a.name;
-- If you don't care to retain the author name to author ID mapping,
-- you can then drop the Authors table.
