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 = "User=MyUser;APIToken=MyToken;URL=http://MyOdooSite/;Database=MyDatabase";
using (OdooConnection connection = new OdooConnection(connectionString)) {
  int rowsAffected;
  OdooCommand cmd = new OdooCommand("UPDATE res_users SET email='John' WHERE id = @myid", connection);
  cmd.Parameters.Add(new OdooParameter("myid","12"));
  rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "User=MyUser;APIToken=MyToken;URL=http://MyOdooSite/;Database=MyDatabase"
Using connection As New OdooConnection(connectionString)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer
  Dim cmd As New OdooCommand("UPDATE res_users SET email='John' WHERE id = @myid", connection)
  cmd.Parameters.Add(New OdooParameter("myid", "12"))
  rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
