Yanni, I understand, that you have some code to perform UPDATE operations
from Smalltalk? Could you please send me some examples?
Oops, when I looked back my code, I found that I had started the project
using node.js. When I was doing the mongodb UPDATE, that was still being
coded in node.js. (I grew frustrated with node.js, and moved back to the
comfort of Seaside).
Looking at the Mongo code in Pharo, I think you can achieve what you
want by calling:
MongoCollection>>update: origDictionary with: newDictionary
Set up the 'origDictionary' to have key/value pairs for only the
identifying key attributes - e.g. {'person-id' -> 'Johan'}
Set up the 'newDictionary' to have key/value pairs for only the
attributes whose values need to be updated.
Warning - I've never tried this, but it looks like it should work.
