+ ########### UPDATE ############
130
+
131
+ =begin
132
+ Convenient update of the dataset
133
+
134
+ A) Using PATCH
135
+
136
+ Previously changed attributes are saved to the database.
137
+
138
+ Using the optional »:set:« argument ad-hoc attributes can be defined
139
+ V.create_class :contracts
140
+ obj = Contracts.first
141
+ obj.name = 'new_name'
142
+ obj.update set: { yesterdays_event: 35 }
143
+ updates both, the »name« and the »yesterdays_event«-properties
144
+
145
+ B) Manual Modus
146
+
147
+ Update accepts a Block. The contents are parsed to »set«. Manual conversion of ruby-objects
148
+ to the database-input format is necessary
149
+
150
+ i.e.
151
+ hct is an Array of ActiveOrient::Model-records.
152
+ then
153
+ obj.update { "positions = #{hct.to_or} " }
154
+ translates to
155
+ update #83:64 set positions = [#90:18, #91:18, #92:18] return after @this
156
+ and returns the modified record.
157
+
158
+ The manual modus accepts the keyword »remove«.
159
+
160
+ obj.update(remove: true) { "positions = #{hct.first.to_or} " }
161
+ translates to
162
+ update #83:64 remove positions = #90:18 return after @this
163
+
164
+ This can be achieved by
165
+ obj.positions
166
+
167

209

221
+ => [["#101:11032", "#102:11032", "#94:10653", "#121:0"]]
222

223
+ returns all edges. The parameter (:out) is not recognized, because out is already a nested array.
224
+
225
+ this
226
+ tg.out( :ohlc).first.out.edges( :out)
