Update multiple rows at one time

Feature Description

The Problem

There seems no way to update many rows by one call.

The Solution

Implement a method that to update multiple rows by one call.

For example)

You wanna make a query like below.

UPDATE TOKENS
    SET word = (case when id = 1 then 'A'
                         when id = 2 then 'B'
                         when id = 3 then 'C'
                    end)
    WHERE id in (1, 2, 3);

And I think It’s not bad to provide the method like this.

const data = [
  {
    id: 1,
    word: 'A'
  },
  {
    id: 2,
    word: 'B'
  },
  {
    id: 3,
    word: 'C'
  }
];

...updateBulkMethod(data);

It’ll must be considered by many aspects.

Considered Alternatives

Implement a method yourself to update multiple rows at one time .

We would like to see this feature, specifically for postgres. I would be happy to implement it if given some guidance.

It’s ridiculous to find a solution to the same problem for me. Finally, just use Typeform.Repository.save(Entity[]) is perfect to solve.

Saves all given entities in the database. If entities do not exist in the database then inserts, otherwise updates.
