updateMany should return count of updated records

[nikolasburk]

I have this User model:

model User {
  id: Int @id
  name: String
}

The updateMany method for this model has the following signature:

 updateMany<T extends UserUpdateManyArgs>(args: Subset<T, UserUpdateManyArgs>): 'select' extends keyof T ? PromiseLike<UserGetPayload<ExtractUserUpdateManyArgsSelect<T>>> : UserClient<User>;

This means I'm just getting a single User object back. It should return the number records that have been updated in the database.

The same problem seems to exist for deleteMany.

Postgres supports the RETURNING statement, wouldn't that be performant enough? Or will it not be included because MySQL has no equivalent?

Disclaimer: I have no idea about the implementation details, just started looking at the examples and the blog post and wanted to check some of the issue when I saw this 😄 I am pretty hyped to test this stuff in a new project 👍

@nikolasburk Hi there. I understand this is a closed issue. But, what if we cant to get the value of the updated records? Shouldn't there be a select or include to do that?

While I understand cound is done for performance reasons, but can't we have the updated records returned only when user explicitly asks for it?

Thanks.
