To modify existing records, use UPDATE statements.

Update Syntax

The UPDATE statement takes as input a comma-separated list of columns and new column values as name-value pairs in the SET clause, as shown in the following example:

UPDATE <table_name> SET { <column_reference> = <expression> } [ , ... ] WHERE { _id = <expression>  } [ { AND | OR } ... ] 

<expression> ::=
  | @ <parameter> 
  | ?
  | <literal>

You can use the ExecuteNonQuery method to execute data manipulation commands and retrieve the rows affected, as shown in the following example:

C#

String connectionString = "Server=127.0.0.1;Port=27017;Database=test;User=test;Password=test;";
using (MongoDBConnection connection = new MongoDBConnection(connectionString)) {
  int rowsAffected;
  MongoDBCommand cmd = new MongoDBCommand("UPDATE [CData].[Sample].Customers SET CompanyName='Caterpillar' WHERE _id = @my_id", connection);
  cmd.Parameters.Add(new MongoDBParameter("my_id","22"));
  rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "Server=127.0.0.1;Port=27017;Database=test;User=test;Password=test;"
Using connection As New MongoDBConnection(connectionString)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer
  Dim cmd As New MongoDBCommand("UPDATE [CData].[Sample].Customers SET CompanyName='Caterpillar' WHERE _id = @my_id", connection)
  cmd.Parameters.Add(New MongoDBParameter("my_id", "22"))
  rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
