That is exactly what I am trying to avoid. That is a the real pain I don't want to update all the fields , I just want to update that particular value based upon it's key. In this case the database in question is the a server socket connection which cannot take lengthy query strings( i was just exemplifying with a normal database, ), and I thought it is not efficient overriding the values which need not be overridden.
Infact I was thinking in the lines of what dave has suggested but even that will still have a lot of comparisions. Has anybody encountered these kind of situations with user editing lot of transactions and posting them back to database. If so how did you deal with them Thanks Dave and Guptill for your replies, Vinay ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Guptill, Josh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 15:42:14 -0500 >No, just update your database table with all the fields that come back on >the form.
