Method Details
next
Boolean next ()
Go to next record in this updater, returns true if successful.
Returns
Boolean - true if proceeded to next record, false otherwise
Sample
controller.setSelectedIndex(1)
var count = 0
var fsUpdater = databaseManager.getFoundSetUpdater(foundset)
while(fsUpdater.next())
{
	fsUpdater.setColumn('my_flag',count++)
}
performUpdate
Boolean performUpdate ()

Do the actual update in the database, returns true if successful.
There are 3 types of possible use with the foundset updater
1) update entire foundset by a single sql statement; that is not possible when the table of the foundset has tracking enabled then it will loop over the whole foundset.
When a single sql statement is done, modification columns will not be updated, because it does the update directly in the database, without getting the records.
2) update part of foundset, for example the first 4 row (starts with selected row)
3) safely loop through foundset (starts with selected row)

after the perform update call there are no records in edit mode, that where not already in edit mode, because all of them are saved directly to the database,
or in mode 1 the records are not touched at all and the database is updated directly.
Returns
Boolean - true if succeeded, false if failed.
Sample
//1) update entire foundset
var fsUpdater = databaseManager.getFoundSetUpdater(foundset)
fsUpdater.setColumn('customer_type',1)
fsUpdater.setColumn('my_flag',0)
fsUpdater.performUpdate()

//2) update part of foundset, for example the first 4 row (starts with selected row)
var fsUpdater = databaseManager.getFoundSetUpdater(foundset)
fsUpdater.setColumn('customer_type',new Array(1,2,3,4))
fsUpdater.setColumn('my_flag',new Array(1,0,1,0))
fsUpdater.performUpdate()

//3) safely loop through foundset (starts with selected row)
controller.setSelectedIndex(1)
var count = 0
var fsUpdater = databaseManager.getFoundSetUpdater(foundset)
while(fsUpdater.next())
{
	fsUpdater.setColumn('my_flag',count++)
}
resetIterator
void resetIterator ()
Start over with this iterator 'next' function (at the foundset selected record).
Returns
void
Sample
controller.setSelectedIndex(1)
var count = 0
var fsUpdater = databaseManager.getFoundSetUpdater(foundset)
while(fsUpdater.next())
{
	fsUpdater.setColumn('my_flag',++count)
}
fsUpdater.resetIterator()
while(fsUpdater.next())
{
	fsUpdater.setColumn('max_flag',count)
}
setColumn
Boolean setColumn (name, value)
Set the column value to update, returns true if successful.
Parameters
{String} name - The name of the column to update.
{Object} value - The new value (can be an array with data for x number of rows) to be stored in the specified column.
Returns
Boolean - true if succeeded, false if failed.
Sample
//1) update entire foundset
var fsUpdater = databaseManager.getFoundSetUpdater(foundset)
fsUpdater.setColumn('customer_type',1)
fsUpdater.setColumn('my_flag',0)
fsUpdater.performUpdate()

//2) update part of foundset, for example the first 4 row (starts with selected row)
var fsUpdater = databaseManager.getFoundSetUpdater(foundset)
fsUpdater.setColumn('customer_type',new Array(1,2,3,4))
fsUpdater.setColumn('my_flag',new Array(1,0,1,0))
fsUpdater.performUpdate()

//3) safely loop through foundset (starts with selected row)
controller.setSelectedIndex(1)
var count = 0
var fsUpdater = databaseManager.getFoundSetUpdater(foundset)
while(fsUpdater.next())
{
	fsUpdater.setColumn('my_flag',count++)
}
