 ===== Updating data in the database =====
+==== PcrudService example ====
-Examples coming soon
+The basic workflow for updating data in the database is to:
+  - Retrieve the object you wish to change.
+  - Make your changes in memory.
+  - Use the Pcrud service's ''update'' method to save the change to the database.
+The following example retrieves the item with ID #1, changes its barcode to 1234567 in memory, then saves the updated barcode to the database:
+    this.pcrud.retrieve('acp', 1)
+        .pipe(switchMap((item) => {
+            item.barcode('1234567');
+            return this.pcrud.update(item);
+    })).subscribe();
+Notice that we use the rxjs ''switchMap'' operator to switch our observable halfway through, from a `retrieve` call to an `update` call.  This helps us to avoid nesting RxJs subscriptions within each other, which can get very complicated to troubleshoot.
