Updating and deleting data using HandlerSocket and Ruby


Updating and deleting data is similar to but not quite the same as inserting data. In this recipe, we will use Ruby and HandlerSocket to update and delete data.

Getting ready

Complete the Inserting data using HandlerSocket and Ruby recipe prior to starting this recipe.

How to do it...

  1. Launch the interactive Ruby interpreter in a terminal window as follows:

    require 'handlersocket'
    hsu = HandlerSocket.new(:host => '127.0.0.1',:port => '9999')
    hsu.open_index(2,'test','hs_test','PRIMARY','givenname')
    
  3. Then, update a row in the interpreter using the following statement:

    p hsu.execute_single(2,'=',[3],1,0,'U',['Jon'])
