I am trying to use the mysql_query statement to update records in my database.
Can anyone understand why this code would not work and how I would manage to add dynamically the key values to the UPDATE statements ?
...
{
"diff_records": {
"app_portfolio_manager": "New Manager"
}
}
- name: case 1b insert app_dict to db table app_info
community.mysql.mysql_query:
- UPDATE app_info
SET ( {{ diff_records.keys() | join(', ') }} ) VALUES ( {{ diff_records.values() | map('regex_replace', '^(.*)$', "'1'") | join(', ') }} )
WHERE app_name = '{{ app_dict.app_name }}'
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {
"changed": false,
"invocation": {
"module_args": {
"query": [
"UPDATE app_info SET ( app_portfolio_manager ) VALUES ( 'New Manager' ) WHERE app_name = 'My new App'"
],
"single_transaction": true
}
},
"msg": "Cannot execute SQL 'UPDATE app_info SET ( app_portfolio_manager ) VALUES ( 'New Manager' ) WHERE app_name = 'My new App'' args [None]: (1064, "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '( app_portfolio_manager ) VALUES ( 'New Manager' ) WHERE app_name = 'My new...' at line 1")"
}

The following only works with single key value variable no go for multiple
- name: case 1b insert app_dict to db table app_info community.mysql.mysql_query: - UPDATE app_info SET {{ diff_records.keys() | join(', ') }} = {{ diff_records.values() | map('regex_replace', '^(.*)$', "'1'") | join(', ') }} WHERE app_name = '{{ app_dict.app_name }}'
update .
Adding a simple dict loop seems to have done the trick.
