Updates all properties for the records that match the where argument. Property names and values can be passed in either using named arguments or as a struct to the properties argument. By default, objects will not be instantiated and therefore callbacks and validations are not invoked. You can change this behavior by passing in instantiate=true. This method returns the number of records that were updated.
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| where | string | No | This argument maps to the WHERE clause of the query. The following operators are supported: =, !=, <>, <, <=, >, >=, LIKE, NOT LIKE, IN, NOT IN, IS NULL, IS NOT NULL, AND, and OR. (Note that the key words need to be written in upper case.) You can also use parentheses to group statements. You do not need to specify the table name(s); Wheels will do that for you. | |
| include | string | No | Associations that should be included in the query using INNER or LEFT OUTER joins (which join type that is used depends on how the association has been set up in your model). If all included associations are set on the current model, you can specify them in a list (e.g. department,addresses,emails). You can build more complex include strings by using parentheses when the association is set on an included model, like album(artist(genre)), for example. These complex include strings only work when returnAs is set to query though. | |
| properties | struct | No | [runtime expression] | The properties you want to set on the object (can also be passed in as named arguments). |
| reload | boolean | No | false | Set to true to force Wheels to query the database even though an identical query may have been run in the same request. (The default in Wheels is to get the second query from the request-level cache.) |
| parameterize | any | No | true | Set to true to use cfqueryparam on all columns, or pass in a list of property names to use cfqueryparam on those only. |
| instantiate | boolean | No | false | Whether or not to instantiate the object(s) first. When objects are not instantiated, any callbacks and validations set on them will be skipped. |
| validate | boolean | No | Set to false to skip validations for this operation. | |
| transaction | string | No | [runtime expression] | Set this to commit to update the database when the save has completed, rollback to run all the database queries but not commit them, or none to skip transaction handling altogether. |
| callbacks | boolean | No | true | Set to false to disable callbacks for this operation. |
| includeSoftDeletes | boolean | No | false | You can set this argument to true to include soft-deleted records in the results. |
updateAll([ where, include, properties, reload, parameterize, instantiate, validate, transaction, callbacks, includeSoftDeletes ]) <!--- Update the `published` and `publishedAt` properties for all records that have `published=0` ---> <cfset recordsUpdated = model("post").updateAll( published=1, publishedAt=Now(), where="published=0" )> <!--- If you have a `hasMany` association setup from `post` to `comment`, you can do a scoped call. (The `removeAllComments` method below will call `model("comment").updateAll(postid="", where="postId=#post.id#")` internally.) ---> <cfset post = model("post").findByKey(params.postId)> <cfset post.removeAllComments()>
