Why isn't there an update_where() method?

It seems rather intuitive if you ask me.

I decided to just write it and the method itself just be a wrapper for where() and update(). Thankfully, I got smart and ran to Google. As it turns out, one of our Russian comrades did exactly what I was thinking.

Code:

/** Обновляем записи */
   function update_where ($table, $row, $value, $data_array)
   {
      $this->db->where($row, $value);
      $this->db->update($table, $data_array);
   }

So why couldn't something like this make it's way into the core?

Hmmm..... I didn't see it.

Yeh, I thought the same thing. An update_where method would act like get_where.

I just use chaining:

Code:

$this->db->where($row, $value)->update($table, $data_array);
