how do I write this?

(sql/format {:update :foo :set {:dismiss "dissmis + 1"}})

I tend to just go with hugsql for queries like this

but there might be a good way to do it in honeysql?

[:+ dissmis 1] is the expression

user=> (sql/format {:update :foo :set {:dismiss [:+ :dissmis 1]}})
["UPDATE foo SET dismiss = dissmis + ?" 1]

@borkdude There's an example of that in the README:

(-> (h/update :films)
    (set {:kind "dramatic"
           :watched [:+ :watched 1]})
    (where [:= :kind "drama"])
    (sql/format {:pretty true}))
=> ["
UPDATE films
SET kind = ?, watched = watched + ?
WHERE kind = ?
"
"dramatic"
1
"drama"]
;; or as pure data DSL:
(-> {:update :films,
     :set {:kind "dramatic", :watched [:+ :watched 1]},
     :where [:= :kind "drama"]}
    (sql/format {:pretty true}))
=> ["
UPDATE films
SET kind = ?, watched = watched + ?
WHERE kind = ?
"
"dramatic"
1
"drama"]

I am using v1 still at work.

There's an example in the v1 readme too!

my bad then, but thanks for answering :)

You have to use (sql/call :+ :watched 1) in V1 https://github.com/seancorfield/honeysql#updates

I see yeah, hm. I did scan the unit tests for this

(I know the V1 readme only uses helpers -- you can always run the helper version in the REPL without sql/format to see what the equivalent data structure would be)

thanks a lot, this helps

I still think the helpers are somewhat magic, but I guess not

They're a lot less "magic" in V2 since they're nearly all implemented with the same generic function 🙂
