Why does updateGetId not exists on the query builder?

because if you are updating then you already know the id !

@Snapey that's not entirely true :)

For example i've this:

DB::connection('shop')->table('cata')
             ->select('id')
             ->where(['sku' => $sku])
             ->update([
                'content'    => 'bla bla bla',
             ]);

maybe I should make a pull request for updateGetId();

and you want to know which row was updated?

I doubt thats possible because the database will update the matching row(s), the return value is the number of rows not the ones that are affected.

Your question implies that only one row was updated but that may not be the case.

@Snapey whooops that's indeed true haha.
