Data creation and modification > Updating documents > REPLACE

≫ Updating documents

You can modify existing data in an RT or PQ table by either updating or replacing it.

UPDATE replaces row-wise attribute values of existing documents with new values. Full-text fields and columnar attributes cannot be updated. If you need to change the content of a full-text field or columnar attributes, use REPLACE.

REPLACE works similarly to INSERT except that if an old document has the same ID as the new document, the old document is marked as deleted before the new document is inserted. Note that the old document does not get physically deleted from the table. The deletion can only happen when chunks are merged in a table, e.g., as a result of an OPTIMIZE.

Both UPDATE and a partial REPLACE can change the value of a field, but they operate differently:

UPDATE can only change fields that are neither columnar nor full-text. This process is done in-place, which is typically faster than REPLACE.
A partial REPLACE can change any field in a document, but it requires that all fields in the table be set to "stored" (though this is the default setting). This is not necessary with UPDATE.

Updating documents REPLACE

Last modified: August 28, 2025

REPLACE works similarly to INSERT, but it marks the previous document with the same ID as deleted before inserting a new one.

If the table you're trying to replace documents in doesn't exist, Manticore will try to create it automatically. See Auto schema for details.

If you are looking for in-place updates, please see this section.

The syntax of the SQL REPLACE statement is as follows:

To replace the whole document:

REPLACE INTO table [(column1, column2, ...)]
    VALUES (value1, value2, ...)
    [, (...)]

Columns not explicitly included in the SQL statement are set to their default values, such as 0 or an empty string, depending on their data type.

To replace only selected fields:

REPLACE INTO table
    SET field1=value1[, ..., fieldN=valueN]
    WHERE id = <id>

Note, you can filter only by id in this mode.

NOTE: Partial replace requires Manticore Buddy. If it doesn't work, make sure Buddy is installed.

To replace from a SELECT:

REPLACE INTO table
    SELECT ... FROM source

REPLACE INTO table (column1, column2, column3)
    SELECT ... FROM source

NOTE: This syntax requires Manticore Buddy. If it doesn't work, make sure Buddy is installed.

Read more about UPDATE vs. partial REPLACE here.

See the examples for more details.

/replace:

POST /replace
{
  "table": "<table name>",
  "id": <document id>,
  "doc":
  {
    "<field1>": <value1>,
    ...
    "<fieldN>": <valueN>
  }
}

/index is an alias endpoint and works the same.

Elasticsearch-like endpoint <table>/_doc/<id>:
```
PUT/POST /<table name>/_doc/<id>
{
  "<field1>": <value1>,
  ...
  "<fieldN>": <valueN>
}
```
NOTE: Elasticsearch-like replace requires Manticore Buddy. If it doesn't work, make sure Buddy is installed.
Partial replace:
```
POST /<{table | cluster:table}>/_update/<id>
{
  "<field1>": <value1>,
  ...
  "<fieldN>": <valueN>
}
```
The <table name> can either be just the table name or in the format cluster:table. This allows for updates across a specific cluster if needed.

NOTE: Partial replace requires Manticore Buddy. If it doesn't work, make sure Buddy is installed.

See the examples for more details.

REPLACE is available for real-time and percolate tables. You can't replace data in a plain table.

When you run a REPLACE, the previous document is not removed, but it's marked as deleted, so the table size grows until chunk merging happens. To force a chunk merge, use the OPTIMIZE statement.

You can replace multiple documents at once. Check bulk adding documents for more information.

REPLACE vs UPDATE UPDATE

Last modified: February 09, 2026

The UPDATE command changes row-wise attribute values of existing documents in a specified table with new values. Note that you can't update the contents of a fulltext field or a columnar attribute. If there's such a need, use REPLACE.

Attribute updates are supported for RT, PQ, and plain tables. All attribute types can be updated as long as they are stored in the row-wise storage.

Note that the document ID cannot be updated.

It's important to be aware that updating an attribute disables its secondary index. If maintaining secondary index continuity is critical, consider fully or partially replacing the document instead.

When assigning out-of-range values to 32-bit attributes, they will be trimmed to their lower 32 bits without a prompt. For example, if you try to update the 32-bit unsigned int with a value of 4294967297, the value of 1 will actually be stored, because the lower 32 bits of 4294967297 (0x100000001 in hex) amount to 1 (0x00000001 in hex).

UPDATE can be used to perform partial JSON updates on numeric data types or arrays of numeric data types. Just make sure you don't update an integer value with a float value as it will be rounded off.

When using replication, the table name should be prepended with cluster_name: (in SQL) so that updates will be propagated to all nodes in the cluster. For queries via HTTP, you should set a cluster property. See setting up replication for more information.

Here is the syntax for the SQL UPDATE statement:

UPDATE table SET col1 = newval1 [, ...] WHERE where_condition [OPTION opt_name = opt_value [, ...]] [FORCE|IGNORE INDEX(id)]

where_condition has the same syntax as in the SELECT statement.

Multi-value attribute value sets must be specified as comma-separated lists in parentheses. To remove all values from a multi-value attribute, just assign () to it.

OPTION clause is a Manticore-specific extension that lets you control a number of per-update options. The syntax is:

OPTION <optionname>=<value> [ , ... ]

The options are the same as for the SELECT statement. Specifically for the UPDATE statement, you can use these options:

'ignore_nonexistent_columns' - If set to 1, it indicates that the update will silently ignore any warnings about trying to update a column which does not exist in the current table schema. The default value is 0.
'strict' - This option is used in partial JSON attribute updates. By default (strict=1), UPDATE will result in an error if the UPDATE query tries to perform an update on non-numeric properties. With strict=0, if multiple properties are updated and some are not allowed, the UPDATE will not result in an error and will perform the changes only on allowed properties (with the rest being ignored). If none of the SET changes of the UPDATE re permitted, the command will result in an error even with strict=0.

In rare cases, Manticore's built-in query analyzer may be incorrect in understanding a query and determining whether a table by ID should be used. This can result in poor performance for queries like UPDATE ... WHERE id = 123. For information on how to force the optimizer to use a docid index, see Query optimizer hints.

Updates using HTTP JSON protocol are performed via the /update endpoint. The syntax is similar to the /insert endpoint, but this time the doc property is mandatory.

The server will respond with a JSON object stating if the operation was successful or not.

The ID of the document that needs to be updated can be set directly using the id property, as shown in the previous example, or you can update documents by query and apply the update to all the documents that match the query:

  },
  "query":
  {
    "match": { "*": "apple" }
  }
}

Response

{
  "table":"products",
  "updated":1
}

The query syntax is the same as in the /search endpoint. Note that you can't specify id and query at the same time.

FLUSH ATTRIBUTES

The FLUSH ATTRIBUTES command ensures that all in-memory attribute updates in all active tables are flushed to disk. It returns a tag that identifies the result on-disk state, which represents the number of actual disk attribute saves performed since the server startup.

mysql> UPDATE testindex SET channel_id=1107025 WHERE id=1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec)
mysql> FLUSH ATTRIBUTES;
+------+
| tag  |
+------+
|    1 |
+------+
1 row in set (0.19 sec)

See also attr_flush_period setting.

You can perform multiple update operations in a single call using the /bulk endpoint. This endpoint only works with data that has Content-Type set to application/x-ndjson. The data should be formatted as newline-delimited JSON (NDJSON). Essentially, this means that each line should contain exactly one JSON statement and end with a newline \n and, possibly, a \r.

         }
      }
   ],
   "errors":false
}

The /bulk endpoint supports inserts, replaces, and deletes. Each statement begins with an action type (in this case, update). Here's a list of the supported actions:

insert: Inserts a document. The syntax is the same as in the /insert endpoint.
create: a synonym for insert
replace: Replaces a document. The syntax is the same as in the /replace.
index: a synonym for replace
update: Updates a document. The syntax is the same as in the /update.
delete: Deletes a document. The syntax is the same as in the /delete endpoint.

Updates by query and deletes by query are also supported.

attr_update_reserve=size

attr_update_reserve is a per-table setting that determines the space reserved for blob attribute updates. This setting is optional, with a default value of 128k.

When blob attributes (MVAs, strings, JSON) are updated, their length may change. If the updated string (or MVA, or JSON) is shorter than the old one, it overwrites the old one in the .spb file. However, if the updated string is longer, updates are written to the end of the .spb file. This file is memory-mapped, which means resizing it may be a rather slow process, depending on the OS implementation of memory-mapped files.

To avoid frequent resizes, you can specify the extra space to be reserved at the end of the .spb file using this option.

attr_flush_period = 900 # persist updates to disk every 15 minutes

When updating attributes the changes are first written to in-memory copy of attributes. This setting allows to set the interval between flushing the updates to disk. It defaults to 0, which disables the periodic flushing, but flushing will still occur at normal shut-down.
