Update Features with Where Clause

[CaseySlaught]

I need to update an attribute (Name) on a large number of features based on another attribute (DeviceId). Is it possible to use a where clause to make the update instead of first fetching the features to obtain the Object IDs?

For example in SQL this would look like:

UPDATE points_table SET Name="John Doe" WHERE DeviceId="abc123";

Hi, I also wonder why this feature does not exist, could someone provide us with some informations ? Thank you
