Problem
Table: Salary
+-------------+----------+ | Column Name | Type | +-------------+----------+ | id | int | | name | varchar | | sex | ENUM | | salary | int | +-------------+----------+ id is the primary key (column with unique values) for this table. The sex column is ENUM (category) value of type ('m', 'f'). The table contains information about an employee.
Write a solution to swap all 'f'
and 'm'
values (i.e., change all 'f'
values to 'm'
and vice versa) with a single update statement and no intermediate temporary tables.
Note that you must write a single update statement, do not write any select statement for this problem.
The result format is in the following example.
Example 1:
Input: Salary table: +----+------+-----+--------+ | id | name | sex | salary | +----+------+-----+--------+ | 1 | A | m | 2500 | | 2 | B | f | 1500 | | 3 | C | m | 5500 | | 4 | D | f | 500 | +----+------+-----+--------+ Output: +----+------+-----+--------+ | id | name | sex | salary | +----+------+-----+--------+ | 1 | A | f | 2500 | | 2 | B | m | 1500 | | 3 | C | f | 5500 | | 4 | D | m | 500 | +----+------+-----+--------+ Explanation: (1, A) and (3, C) were changed from 'm' to 'f'. (2, B) and (4, D) were changed from 'f' to 'm'.
