WHERE user_id = 123' at line 2 

 

Any ideas why i'm getting this error?

 

Thanks.

If you do have a column named 1, you need to use "quoting" to make it work -

 

Identifiers may begin with a digit but unless quoted may not consist solely of digits.

 

Quoting identifiers in mysql means to use the back-tick ` or double-quotes " around it.

SQL query:

 

UPDATE user SET '1' = [email protected] WHERE user_id =123
