Update Query

I know you can get a dataset by using the databaseManager getDataSetByQuery method but is there a way to run a straight SQL UPDATE statement through the servoy code editor?

thanks in advance

no, not right away, but you can do it with the new rawSQL plugin that is introduced in the Servoy 3 alfa version!

(As far as I know, the plugin also works in 2.2.1)

Yes, the SQL Raw plugin works in 2.2.1 and higher.

Checkout the foundset updater (as found in servoy since 1.2) composes an SQL update for you.
