Re: Problems with updateAll

the info was perfect, by as I said, the table doesnt have a primary
key, only a column that works like one. I cant touch it, because it
was made to work that way. Im just building 1 website for this system
I didnt make it, I know this is a terrible system ^^.
I will try to find another way. Anyway thanks for help. Cya
