Consider this data

[{name:'tokyo', monday:10, tuesday:12},{name:'mumbai', monday:15, tuesday:15}]

Then we can compare properties like:

lazlo => identify from doc1 where monday = tuesday   //mumbai

If any property is not found, an error will be thrown

update

In update, you first identify a record using an unique property and value pair and then update it by changing an existing property or by adding a new property and value pair. If the property and value pair used for identification was not unique, lazlo will update all the records having that property-value pair.

lazlo => update in doc1 where name = joe as name = doe

Here the name will be changed to doe

delete

In delete, you first identify a record using an unique property and value pair and then delete it. If the property and value pair used for identification was not unique, lazlo will delete all the records having that property-value pair.

lazlo => delete from doc1 where name = joe

show records by date

You can also display all the records in a document created on a specific date. The date is passed in a yyyy-mm-dd format.

lazlo => show records of 2018-12-25 from doc1
