UPDATE .. RETURNING
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
Various dialect support a RETURNING clause or something similar on their UPDATE statements, similar as the RETURNING clause in INSERT statements. This is useful to fetch trigger-generated values in one go. An example is given here:
-- Fetch a trigger-generated value UPDATE BOOK SET TITLE = 'Animal Farm' WHERE ID = 5 RETURNING TITLE
String title = create.update(BOOK)
.set(BOOK.TITLE, "Animal Farm")
.where(BOOK.ID.eq(5))
.returningResult(BOOK.TITLE)
.fetchOne().getValue(BOOK.TITLE);
Dialect support
This example using jOOQ:
update(BOOK).set(BOOK.TITLE, "New Title").returningResult(BOOK.ID)
Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:
Aurora Postgres, CockroachDB, Postgres, SQLite, YugabyteDB
UPDATE BOOK SET TITLE = 'New Title' RETURNING BOOK.ID

SELECT ID
FROM FINAL TABLE (
UPDATE BOOK
SET
BOOK.TITLE = 'New Title'
) BOOK

INSERT INTO BOOK ( ID, AUTHOR_ID, TITLE, PUBLISHED_IN, LANGUAGE_ID ) SELECT BOOK.ID, BOOK.AUTHOR_ID, BOOK.TITLE, BOOK.PUBLISHED_IN, BOOK.LANGUAGE_ID FROM BOOK ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE BOOK.TITLE = 'New Title' RETURNING ID
Oracle
DECLARE
o0 DBMS_SQL.NUMBER_TABLE;
c0 sys_refcursor;
BEGIN
UPDATE BOOK
SET
BOOK.TITLE = 'New Title'
RETURNING BOOK.ID
BULK COLLECT INTO o0;
? := SQL%ROWCOUNT;
OPEN c0 FOR SELECT * FROM TABLE(o0);
? := c0;
END;
