IBM Db2 - Update actions

Workato offers both batch and single update row actions. This allows you the flexibility to choose the action that you require for your recipe and to fulfill your business needs. Check out our best practices on whether to use batch or single insert actions and when to use insert, update, or update.

Update rows

This action allows you to update the columns of multiple rows that match a criteria.

Input

Field	Type	Description
Table	required	Select a table to update. This can be done either by selecting a table from the pick list, or toggling the input field to text mode and typing the full table name.
WHERE condition	optional	Row(s) that match this specified condition will be updated (e.g. status = true). SQL sub-queries are supported.
Rows > Rows fields	optional	This is a dynamically generated list of input fields, based on the columns in the target table. Specify what data to insert into each column here.

Output

Field	Description
Rows affected	Number of rows that were updated

Update batch of rows

This action allows you update multiple rows to different values in one step, based on incoming data in a list datapill. This provides higher throughput when you are moving a large number of records from one app to IBM Db2.

Input

Field	Type	Description
Table	required	Select a table to update. This can be done either by selecting a table from the pick list, or toggling the input field to text mode and typing the full table name.
Rows > Rows source list	required	The datapill to input is the source of the batch of rows to update to the table. This can come from any trigger or action that outputs a list datapill.
Rows > Rows fields	optional	This is a Dynamically generated list of input fields, based on the columns in the target table. Map data to be inserted from the Rows source list datapill.
Unique key	required	Select a unique key column to identify rows for the update. Performance can be improved if the selected unique key is indexed.
