i believe update has always been defined as all of the contents of an entry being replaced with the contents of the call.
the general notion of using the api to effect any delay in display-time of an item-update is somewhat spurious; the api gives more control over updating individual items as opposed to resubmitting an entire data-feed with one attribute change -- but the time improvement is probably due more to having less processing overall. i don't believe there has ever been a way to update individual attributes, and only individual attributes, of an item; smallest access to an item returns an atom-entry and its attributes. see also: http://code.google.com/apis/base/docs/2.0/developers_guide_protocol.html#Updating --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Base Data API" group.
