MySQL 5.7 Reference Manual
MySQL 5.7 Release Notes
If you access a column from the table to be updated in an
expression, UPDATE uses the
current value of the column. The second assignment in the
following statement sets col2 to the
current (updated) col1 value, not the
original col1 value. The result is that
col1 and col2 have the
same value. This behavior differs from standard SQL.
UPDATE t1 SET col1 = col1 + 1, col2 = col1;
