My Answer:
- How to update a column without actually changing its value in MySQL?
- MySQL UPDATE without changing a column value

Yes, it is possible to do a MYSQL UPDATE query without actually updating a specific column. You can achieve this by setting the column to its current value in the UPDATE query. Here is an example:

sql

UPDATE table_name

SET column_name = column_name

WHERE condition;

In this query, the `column_name` is set to its current value, so it will not actually change the value of the column. The `WHERE` clause is used to specify the rows that you want to update.
