I'm trying to achieve the following:When I add into the table Players_goals that player_John has scored 3 player_goals in match_xx - That it doesn't just get inserted into the Players_goals table, but also into the Players table. And if player_John had already scored 2 goals, that it gets updated to 5 (sum). Please see the tables I'm using below: \[code\]Players table+--------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |+--------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+| player_id | int(4) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment || player_name | varchar(45) | NO | MUL | NULL | || team_name | varchar(45) | NO | MUL | NULL | || player_goals | int(4) | YES | | NULL | |+--------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+Players_goals table+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+| player_name | varchar(45) | NO | MUL | NULL | || match_id | int(4) | NO | MUL | NULL | || goals | int(4) | YES | MUL | NULL | |+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+\[/code\]How can I make this possible?
