Update Rows in Drizzle ORM
From the Drizzle ORM cheat sheet · Insert / Update / Delete · verified Jul 2026
Update Rows
Update existing rows with type-safe set and where clauses.
typescript
import { eq } from 'drizzle-orm';
// Update single field
await db.update(users)
.set({ name: 'Alice Smith' })
.where(eq(users.id, 1));
// Update with returning
const [updated] = await db.update(users)
.set({ isActive: false })
.where(eq(users.id, 1))
.returning();💡 .set() accepts partial object — only named cols
⚡ Use sql tag for increment/decrement operations
📌 Always add .where() to avoid updating all rows
🟢 .returning() gives you the updated row(s)
