+
+Objects are updated by first filtering the candidates into a queryset and then
+calling the update() method. It executes immediately and returns nothing.
+
+>>> DataPoint.objects.filter(value="apple").update(name="d1")
+>>> DataPoint.objects.filter(value="apple")
+[<DataPoint: d1>]
+
+We can update multiple objects at once.
+
+>>> DataPoint.objects.filter(value="banana").update(value="pineapple")
+>>> DataPoint.objects.get(name="d2").value
+u'pineapple'
+
+Foreign key fields can also be updated, although you can only update the object
+referred to, not anything inside the related object.
+
+>>> d = DataPoint.objects.get(name="d1")
+>>> RelatedPoint.objects.filter(name="r1").update(data=d)
+>>> RelatedPoint.objects.filter(data__name="d1")
+[<RelatedPoint: r1>]
+
+Multiple fields can be updated at once
+
+>>> DataPoint.objects.filter(value="pineapple").update(value="fruit", another_value="peaches")
+>>> d = DataPoint.objects.get(name="d2")
+>>> d.value, d.another_value
+(u'fruit', u'peaches')
+
+In the rare case you want to update every instance of a model, update() is also
+a manager method.
+
+>>> DataPoint.objects.update(value='thing')
+>>> DataPoint.objects.values('value').distinct()
+[{'value': u'thing'}]
