DML Command - UPDATE

Modifies rows in a table with new values.

Note: Databend guarantees data integrity. In Databend, Insert, Update, and Delete operations are guaranteed to be atomic, which means that all data in the operation must succeed or all must fail.

Syntax

UPDATE <table_name>
SET <col_name> = <value> [ , <col_name> = <value> , ... ]
    [ FROM <table_name> ]
    [ WHERE <condition> ]

Support Arrow Flight SQL Protocol

Currently Databend supports the MySQL protocol, and it would be great if Databend could support the Arrow Flight SQL protocol as well.

Typically a lakehouse stores data in parquet files using the MySQL protocol while Databend has to do deserialization from parquet to arrow and then back to MySQL data types. Again on the caller end users use data frames or MySQL result iterators, which also requires serialization of types. With Arrow Flight SQL all of these back and forth serialization costs can be avoided.
