How to create 'update' using multiple 'set' methods-CodePudding

Synopsis: I'm trying to create an SQL update using jOOQ

DSL.using(connection)
.update(DSL.table("dogs"))
.set(DSL.field("age"), DSL.field("age").add(1))
.set(DSL.field("rabies"), "true")
.where(DSL.field("id").eq("Kujo"))
.execute();

Issue:

The method set(Field<Object>, Object) is ambiguous for the type UpdateSetFirstStep<Record>

Question: How do I create this update using jOOQ?

CodePudding user response：

You ran into this problem: Reference is ambiguous with generics

Fixing your query

It's always a good idea to attach data types with your jOOQ expressions. In your particular case, you can work around the problem by specifying things like:

DSL.field("age", SQLDataType.INTEGER)

Or, shorter, with the usual static imports:

field("age", INTEGER)

Using the code generator

However, jOOQ is best used with its code generator. Not only will you avoid problems like these, but you also get compile time type safety (of data types and meta data), advanced features like implicit joins and much more.

Your query would then look like this:

DSL.using(connection)
   .update(DOGS)
   .set(DOGS.AGE, DOGS.AGE.add(1))
   .set(DOGS.RABIES, true)
   .where(DOGS.ID.eq("Kujo"))
   .execute();
