What is the problem with your ? and ?? parameters?

Your examples are so small...

I have no idea how to execute an UPDATE query with a WHERE clause. It keeps thinking field values are field names. No documentation anywhere to learn from. Just 5 little dinky examples on your main page for people who are not really serious. You help section is soooo lacking...

WHY DOESN'T THIS WORK?

  const sqlUpdateCompany: string = 
  `UPDATE tblCompanies 
    SET 
      startDate = ?, 
      name = ?, 
      owner = ?, 
      status = ?, 
      ein = ?, 
      taxForm = ?, 
      industry = ?, 
      stateLicenseNumber = ?, 
      address1 = ?, 
      city = ?, 
      state = ?, 
      postalCode = ?, 
      email = ?, 
      phone = ?, 
      url = ?, 
      notes = ?
    WHERE 
      id = ?`;

  // EXECUTE QUERY
  const sqlUpdateCompanyResult = await MYSQL_CONN.execute(sqlUpdateCompany, [
    reqBody.params.startDate,
    reqBody.params.name,
    reqBody.params.owner,
    reqBody.params.status,
    reqBody.params.ein,
    reqBody.params.taxForm,
    reqBody.params.industry,
    reqBody.params.stateLicenseNumber,
    reqBody.params.address1,
    reqBody.params.city,
    reqBody.params.state,
    reqBody.params.postalCode,
    reqBody.params.email,
    reqBody.params.phone,
    reqBody.params.url,
    reqBody.params.notes,
    reqBody.params.id
  ]);

Error: Unknown column '2023-01-01' in 'field list'

Why does it think the the value of startDate is the field name in the database?

Seems to be the ANSI_QUOTES mode (MySQL docs: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/sql-mode.html#sqlmode_ansi_quotes).

Currently the sql-builder module uses double quotes " for string values. (issue: manyuanrong/sql-builder#15)
