What is the best way to UPDATE records in google app engine’s Big Table

  • 0

What is the best way to UPDATE records in google app engine’s Big Table through backend?

I have google app engine application where users sign up and perform a bunch of activities. Now, I have added a new feature to award POINTS to the user based on the activity. For the point system to be accurate, I need to manually calculate the points for activities completed in the past(I have stats to do that) & UPDATE the big table by using queries. So what is the recommended way to do this?

I am looking for some kind of IDE-like interface/command-line tool to get this done.

Some clarifications:

  • I am NOT looking for bulk upload of data. Data is already there. I just got to UPDATE it.
  • I know I can do this by writing a java/python
    program, but I am trying to update using queries alone.
  • I cannot delete and re-create data

Possible?

    There are no ‘update’ queries in App Engine, and I’m not aware of any tools that implement them in an administrator interface. You will have to fetch, update, and write each record using code.
