# Update Items in Table

> **Note:** This SDK is currently in deprecation. Migrate to [JavaScript SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/nosql/manipulate-item/) now.

Catalyst enables you to update items in a specific [NoSQL](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/nosql/introduction/) table after you construct them. An item can be updated by identifying it using its [primary keys](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/nosql/components/#table-keys). For instance, you can use just the partition key or a combination of the partition key and sort key to identify the item. 

You can then define the update operation type with the appropriate HTTP request method and provide the attributes and values to be updated in the item. 

> **Note:** Catalyst enables you to update a maximum of 25 items in bulk in a NoSQL table with a single SDK operation.

The example below illustrates this by identifying an item with the partition key `fruitName` and value "Apple". The values for the attributes of this item to be updated, `color` and `taste` are provided, along with the path to these attributes.

The `no-sql` library from  the `zcatalyst-sdk-node package` is required to define and construct the NoSQL item.

```javascript
const { NoSQLItem, NoSQLEnum } = require('zcatalyst-sdk-node/lib/no-sql');
const { NoSQLOperator } = NoSQLEnum;
// Update a NoSQL Item identified with the partition key "apple" with its properties attribute updated
const updatedItems = await table.updateItems({
// Define the partition key value of the item to be updated
keys: [new NoSQLItem().addString('fruit', 'apple')],
// Define the attributes to be updated
update_attributes: [
{
// Specify the type of the update operation
operation_type: NoSQLUpdateOperationType.PUT,
// Provide the values for the attribute to be updated
update_value: NoSQLMarshall.makeMap({ color: 'Green', taste: 'Sour' }),
// Specify the path to the attributes
attribute_path: ['fruitProperties']
}
]
});
```
