Boolean fields not getting updated - sql

Question

I'm trying to update my entire database by batching all the changes in my request using Updates from gorm. All the fields are getting updated except for the bool values. No error is being thrown too by the database.
This is my struct
type Client struct {
ClientID string `json:"client_id"`
FirstName string `json:"first_name"`
LastName string `json:"last_name"`
Email string `json:"email"`
Telephone string `json:"telephone"`
AcceptNotification bool `json:"accept_notification"`
Verfied bool `json:"verified"`
}
and the code to update client is
func (b *Client) UpdateClient(request models.Client) (err error) {
db := b.DB
result := db.Table("client").
Where("client_id = ? AND store_id = ?", request.ClientID, request.StoreID).
Updates(request)
if result.Error != nil {
return result.Error
}
return nil
}
In the documentation it says
When update with struct, GORM will only update non-zero fields, you might want to use map to update attributes or use Select to specify fields to update
What could be the issue? What is the solution?

Answer 1

You can't update zero value using struct (you should use a map instead). From the doc:
Updates multiple columns Updates supports update with struct or
map[string]interface{}, when updating with struct it will only update
non-zero fields by default
// Update attributes with `struct`, will only update non-zero fields
db.Model(&user).Updates(User{Name: "hello", Age: 18, Active: false})
// UPDATE users SET name='hello', age=18, updated_at = '2013-11-17 21:34:10' WHERE id = 111;
// Update attributes with `map`
db.Model(&user).Updates(map[string]interface{}{"name": "hello", "age": 18, "active": false})
// UPDATE users SET name='hello', age=18, active=false, updated_at='2013-11-17 21:34:10' WHERE id=111;
NOTE When update with struct, GORM will only update non-zero fields,
you might want to use map to update attributes or use Select to
specify fields to update
