"UPDATE table_name SET w = $1, x = $2, z = $4 WHERE y = $3 RETURNING *",

does not do the same as

"UPDATE table_name SET w = $1, x = $2, y = $3, z = $4 RETURNING *",

It’s 2 am and my mind blanked out the WHERE, and just wanted the numbers neatly in order of 1234.

idiot.

FML.

    Because I’m relatively new at this type of thing, how does that appear on the front end? I’m using a js/html front end and a jsnode backend. Would I just see a popup before I make any changes?

    • If you’re asking about the information about the number of rows, oracle db clients do that. For nodejs, oracle’s library will provide this number in the response to a dml statement execution. So you can retrieve it in your backend code. You have to write additional code to bring this message to the front-end.

        Awesome, thanks for the info. Definitely super useful for debug mode whilst I’m fixing and tampering!

      No idea. My tools connect directly to the DB server, rather than going though any web server shenanigans.
