Parameters

Data
Returns
Promise<void>
whenMatchedUpdateAll()
Rows that exist in both the source table (new data) and the target table (old data) will be updated, replacing the old row with the corresponding matching row.
If there are multiple matches then the behavior is undefined. Currently this causes multiple copies of the row to be created but that behavior is subject to change.
An optional condition may be specified. If it is, then only matched rows that satisfy the condtion will be updated. Any rows that do not satisfy the condition will be left as they are. Failing to satisfy the condition does not cause a "matched row" to become a "not matched" row.
The condition should be an SQL string. Use the prefix target. to refer to rows in the target table (old data) and the prefix source. to refer to rows in the source table (new data).
For example, "target.last_update < source.last_update"
Parameters

whenNotMatchedBySourceDelete()
