How to Write update query in Jql

Question

Hello;
I want to update my jira's hsql database using update query.
my update query is "Update tree set child=replace(child,3.7,2) where projectid=SAC"
here-
tree-Table Name
Child-Custom filed Column name 
projectid-Column name

Can anyone tell me how to write this query using Jql querybuilder

It would have been of great help.  Unfortunately it is limited to Select at this time.

Udo is correct in the fact that you can not use JQL for anything else than select queries.

The following page explains how you can run your sql commands directly in the HSQL database:

I hope this helps you out.

Best Regards,

As far as I know you can't use JQL for updating issues. It is just for querying issues - not like SQL where you have different DML options (Select, Insert, Update, Delete)
