## update
`update(each: bool = False, **kwargs) -> int`
QuerySet level update is used to update multiple records with the same value at once.
You either have to filter the QuerySet first or provide a `each=True` flag to update
whole table.
If you do not provide this flag or a filter a `QueryDefinitionError` will be raised.
Return number of rows updated.
```Python hl_lines="26-28"
--8<-- "../docs_src/queries/docs002.py"
```
!!!warning Queryset needs to be filtered before updating to prevent accidental
overwrite.
To update whole database table `each=True` needs to be provided as a safety switch
## update_or_create
`update_or_create(**kwargs) -> Model`
Updates the model, or in case there is no match in database creates a new one.
```Python hl_lines="26-32"
--8<-- "../docs_src/queries/docs003.py"
```
!!!note Note that if you want to create a new object you either have to pass pk column
value or pk column has to be set as autoincrement
## bulk_update
`bulk_update(objects: List["Model"], columns: List[str] = None) -> None`
Allows to update multiple instance at once.
All `Models` passed need to have primary key column populated.
You can also select which fields to update by passing `columns` list as a list of string
names.
```python hl_lines="8"
# continuing the example from bulk_create
# update objects
for todo in todoes:
todo.completed = False
# perform update of all objects at once
# objects need to have pk column set, otherwise exception is raised
await ToDo.objects.bulk_update(todoes)
completed = await ToDo.objects.filter(completed=False).all()
assert len(completed) == 3
```
