pub struct UpdateStatement<T: QuerySource, U, V = SetNotCalled, Ret = NoReturningClause> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Represents a complete UPDATE statement.

See update for usage examples, or the update guide for a more exhaustive set of examples.

Implementations§

Provides the SET clause of the UPDATE statement.

See update for usage examples, or the update guide for a more exhaustive set of examples.

Adds the given predicate to the WHERE clause of the statement being constructed.

If there is already a WHERE clause, the predicate will be appended with AND. There is no difference in behavior between update(table.filter(x)) and update(table).filter(x).

Example
let updated_rows = diesel::update(users)
    .set(name.eq("Jim"))
    .filter(name.eq("Sean"))
    .execute(connection);
assert_eq!(Ok(1), updated_rows);

let expected_names = vec!["Jim".to_string(), "Tess".to_string()];
let names = users.select(name).order(id).load(connection);

assert_eq!(Ok(expected_names), names);

Boxes the WHERE clause of this update statement.

This is useful for cases where you want to conditionally modify a query, but need the type to remain the same. The backend must be specified as part of this. It is not possible to box a query and have it be useable on multiple backends.

A boxed query will incur a minor performance penalty, as the query builder can no longer be inlined by the compiler. For most applications this cost will be minimal.

Example
let mut query = diesel::update(users)
    .set(name.eq("Jerk"))
    .into_boxed();

if !params["tess_has_been_a_jerk"] {
    query = query.filter(name.ne("Tess"));
}

let updated_rows = query.execute(connection)?;
assert_eq!(1, updated_rows);

let expected_names = vec!["Jerk", "Tess"];
let names = users.select(name).order(id).load::<String>(connection)?;

assert_eq!(expected_names, names);

Specify what expression is returned after execution of the update.

Examples
Updating a single record:
let updated_name = diesel::update(users.filter(id.eq(1)))
    .set(name.eq("Dean"))
    .returning(name)
    .get_result(connection);
assert_eq!(Ok("Dean".to_string()), updated_name);
