Documentation PR: knex/documentation#476
Introduces the
updateFrom
querybuilder method for PostgreSQL. This allows the creation ofUPDATE <table> SET <data> FROM <name>
queries, which may reference relations or CTEs outside of the target table.I opted for creating a new QB method (
updateFrom
) to avoid conflict or weird interactions or unexpected changes to behaviour with the target table already being inferred fromknex(table)
,knex.table(table)
, etc.
