The generic function
update-record-from-slot
updates an individual data item in the column represented by
slot
. The
database
is only used if
instance
is not yet associated with any database, in which case a record is created in
database
. Only
slot
is initialized in this case; other columns in the underlying database receive default values. The argument
slot
is the CLOS slot name; the corresponding column names are derived from the View Class definition.
