Update different records in table with different values

Problem

Lets consider a user table with columns ID and NAME . If i wish to update multiple Names based on their IDs, for example -

• For id=1, name should be updated to name=“abc”
• For id=2, name should be updated to name=“def”
• For id=3, name should be updated to name=“xyz”

I can’t do that in one single query.

Suggested solution

There should be a way to bulk update records in a table with different values. For example -

prisma.user.updateMany({ where:{ id: { in: [1,2,3] } }, data:{ name:["abc", "def", "xyz"] } })

OR

prisma.user.updateMany({ [ { where:{ id: 1 }, data:{ name:"abc" } }, { where:{ id: 2 }, data:{ name:"def" } }, ] })

Alternatives

It can’t be done using updateMany since it only allows to update all records with one single piece of data. For example - prisma.user.updateMany({ where:{ id: { in: [1,2,3] } }, data:{ name: "abc" } })

Would be very inresting – instead of currently using the combo map & update

It doesn’t make any sense when you have to update thousands of documents to thousands of different values ​​to perform thousands of updates, if you know from the beginning the information you want to update, so not being able to do this type of operation limits a lot for performance reasons.

We will need to be able to use something like bulkWrite (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/method/db.collection.bulkWrite/)
