>From the DAL chapter of the manual update_record update_record web2py also allows updating a single record that is already in memory using update_record
1. 2. 3. >>> rows = db(db.person.id > 2).select() >>> row = rows[0] >>> row.update_record(name='Curt') This should not be confused with 1. >>> row.update(name='Curt') because for a single row, the method update updates the row object but not the database record, as in the case of update_record.
