Hi:
How do you conduct "update" statements in SQL for a Business Central company?
Thanks!

Hi, if you want to modify the existing records in a table, you should use the following method.
Record.Modify([Boolean]) Method
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/methods-auto/record/record-modify-method
And, Insert, Modify, ModifyAll, Delete, and DeleteAll Methods
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-insert-modify-modifyall-delete-and-deleteall-methods
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

You should not really be doing direct updates of your Business Central data directly in SQL server. You should do updates through AL code as Zhu is talking about.
And you will only have access to SQL data in BC on-prem - in BC online you do not have direct database access.
