Description of feature (or steps to reproduce if bug)

In the documentation (http://loopback.io/doc/en/lb3/AngularJS-JavaScript-SDK.html), it suggests to use $save() for update. However, it doesn't work for me, and it was also captured in this issue #154.

Link to sample repo to reproduce issue (if bug)

Expected result

Following the documentation, the data should be updated.

Actual result (if bug)

I got some error in odbc.js (using db2 connector) using $save() suggested by the documentation
Using the example in here #154,
something like below works for me:
MiscTodo.prototype$updateAttributes({ id: note.id }, note);

Additional information (Node.js version, LoopBack version, etc)

LoopBack 3.0

@dhmlau I am afraid this issue seems not actionable to me. Should we close it as a duplicate of #154? If it isn't a duplicate, then what exactly would you like to see as the outcome of this issue?

Sorry, ignore my previous comment. IIRC, you are asking to update our documentation, describe the situations where $save cannot be used and offer alternatives.
