Command: dbupdate

Syntax

dbupdate <ident> {,<ident> ... }

Description

Update the database from the local copy of dbstructure values.

Parameters

• <ident>
  Existing identifier(s). They must be dbstructure-type identifiers. Wild names are permitted to facilitate multiple updates.

Switches

• -ty=<type>
  Update only the identifier(s) of the indicated identifier <type>.

Notes

dbupdate writes all elements of a dbstructure-type identifier to the database. Partial array updates are not permitted.

A database row entry matching the dbstructure key of <ident> must exist.

Following the dbupdate command, the dbstructure is marked "refreshable" which means that the next reference to the dbstructure will fetch the updated values from the database.

Examples

Update a dbstructure to database.

person.phone = '555-5709'
dbupdate person

Update all dbstructures of a specific type.

dbupdate *.*, -ty=~admin.staff
