-Update
The -Update command tag allows a record to be updated within a database table.
The database and table for the update action should be specified using the -Database and -Table command tags. The specific record to be updated should be specified using the -KeyField and -KeyValue tags to identify the primary key field and specific key value. Additional name/value parameters specify the new values for the record which is updated within the database table.
