Shortcut evaluation in OR or IN

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Say I have a select like this.

SELECT * FROM table where field = X OR field = Y limit 1

And I have two records one that matches X and one that matches Y will I always get X because the evaluation will stop after the first clause in the OR matches?

What about for IN (X, Y)

how about if I am doing an update

UPDATE table1 set x=table2.y where table1.field1 = table2.field1 OR table1.field2=table2.field2

Will it update based on field1 if both fields match?


Basically I want to know if and how OR shortcuts the evaluation.

Thanks.
