Hi

I have an mysql table.

For particular set of rows I want to swap two of the values.

So it would be something like

update exampletable set
field1= field 2
field 2= field1
where field3=value

Is this possible? I was worried that doing this might make both the values
the same because by time you get to
field2 = field1, the value in field 1 has changed and that data is lost?

this is using mysql.

Thank in advance for any input.
