UPDATE changes the values of the specified columns in all rows that satisfy the condition.
More about UPDATE statement in PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/sql-update.html
Following clauses are supported
- UPDATE(columns...) - list of columns to update
- SET(values...) - list of values for columns
- MODEL(model) - list of values for columns will be extracted from model object
- WHERE(condition) - row condition to update
- RETURNING(columns...) - list of columns to return as statement result
_This list might be extended with feature Jet releases._
## Example
```
// replace all Bing links with Yahoo
updateStmt := Link.
UPDATE(Link.Name, Link.URL).
SET("Yahoo", "http://yahoo.com").
WHERE(Link.Name.EQ(String("Bing")))
```
Debug sql of above statement:
```sql
UPDATE test_sample.link -- 'test_sample' is name of the schema
SET (name, url) = ('Bong', 'http://bong.com')
WHERE link.name = 'Bing';
```
Short-hand notation to extract model data for column values:
```
yahoo := model.Link{
URL: "http://www.yahoo.com",
Name: "Yahoo",
}
updateStmt := Link.
UPDATE(Link.Name, Link.URL, Link.Description).
MODEL(yahoo).
WHERE(Link.Name.EQ(String("Bing")))
```
`Link.Name, Link.URL, Link.Description` - can be replaced with Link.MutableColumns. All columns minus primary key columns.
Primary key columns are not updated usually.
```
updateStmt := Link.
UPDATE(Link.MutableColumns).
MODEL(yahoo).
WHERE(Link.Name.EQ(String("Bing")))
```
### Execute statement
To execute update statement and get sql.Result:
```
res, err := updateStmt.Exec(db)
```
To execute update statement and return row records updated, statement has to have RETURNING clause:
```
updateStmt := Link.
UPDATE(Link.MutableColumns).
MODEL(yahoo).
WHERE(Link.Name.EQ(String("Bing"))).
RETURNING(Link.AllColumns)
dest := []model.Link{}
err := updateStmt.Query(db, &dest)
```
Use `ExecContext` and `QueryContext` to provide context object to execution.
Update example SQL table:
```sql
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS link (
id serial PRIMARY KEY,
url VARCHAR (255) NOT NULL,
name VARCHAR (255) NOT NULL,
description VARCHAR (255)
);
```
