How to select a record and update it, with a single queryset in Django?
django, django-models, django-queryset, orm, sql
Solution
Use the queryset object `update` method:
MyModel.objects.filter(pk=some_value).update(field1='some value')
Problem
How do I run an `update` and `select` statements on the same `queryset` rather than having to do two queries: - one to select the object - and one to update the object The equivalent in SQL would be something like: ``` update my_table set field_1 = 'some value' where pk_field = some_value ```
