Updates XML data.

Syntax

Update-XML [parameters]

Remarks

The Update-XML cmdlet allows you to use a syntax similar to SQL UPDATE statements to update XML data.

$conn = Connect-XML -URI 'C:\people.xml' -DataModel 'Relational'
Update-XML -Connection $conn -Table "NorthwindOData" -Columns @("Username") -Values @("Ana Trujilo") -Id "1"

The Where parameter can also be used to specify the primary key of the table:

Update-XML -Connection $conn -Table "NorthwindOData" -Columns @("Username") -Values @("Ana Trujilo") -Where "Id = '1'"

The primary key can also be passed to the cmdlet along the pipeline:

Select-XML -Connection $conn -Table NorthwindOData -Where "Email = '[email protected]'" | Update-XML -Columns @("Email") -Values @("[email protected] 2")
