In order to update existing data, we start
0:03
like we always do, we get a session, and then we
0:05
retrieve one or more records from the database.
0:08
Here we're just getting one package.
0:10
We're going to get this package back, and if we make
0:12
changes to it, so we set the author value to a new name
0:16
and we set the author email to a new email
0:18
SQLAlchemy will track within the session that
0:22
that record is dirty and it needs to be updated
0:25
because we've changed some fields.
0:27
And then, when we're ready to actually
0:29
save it, push all the changes back.
0:32
I could apply this to as many entities as we'd like
0:34
it doesn't have to just be one, then we're going to
0:37
commit the unit to work, and it's going to look
0:39
at the changes, do all the changes in a single
0:42
transaction, back to the database.
0:44
We use the unit of work to do
0:46
our updates just like we do the inserts.
