missing FROM-clause entry for table "subquery"

So I am trying to update a row while using a subquery for it but getting erro all the time

You need to use a with clause, as so:

const subquery = db.$with('subquery').as(/* your sq, without the final `.as()` */);
await db.with(subquery)./* the rest as usual*/;

const subquery = db.$with('subquery').as(/* your sq, without the final `.as()` */);
await db.with(subquery)./* the rest as usual*/;

@Mario564 So I did that but now I am getting error "missing FROM-clause entry for table "subquery""

Oh, that means that you need to add a from clause pointed to the subquery. Issue is that currently, Drizzle doesn't support from clause in update statements. You can try this instead:

// No with clause
await db
  .update(addresses)
  .set({ ... })
  .where(eq(addresses.id, sql`(${subquery})`));

// No with clause
await db
  .update(addresses)
  .set({ ... })
  .where(eq(addresses.id, sql`(${subquery})`));

This uses a subquery directly embedded into the comparison. It's not super clean but it's an alternative from using the from clause.

is there plans on adding from clause in update query?

Yes, I'm actually working on it, but can't be sure when it'll be in a release since there's a lot of other things that are being worked on
