dangerous. The "key" (which identifies the rows you want to change) was
[ColumnExp, Comparable, ...] and the data that you would be changing was
[ColumnExp, Object]. So if you happened to pass a comparable object as the
first value you wanted to change, say:
updatePartial(FooRecord.class, FooRecord.FOO_ID, 5, FooRecord.BAR_ID, 6,
FooRecord.BAZ, "biffle")
the compiler would think you wanted to use FOO_ID and BAR_ID as a key rather
than FOO_ID as a key and BAR_ID as something to be updated. Either way, it's
not clear what you want, so it should go. Now you have to create a Key():
updatePartial(new Key<FooRecord>(FooRecord.clsas, FooRecord.FOO_ID, 5,
FooRecord.BAR_ID, 6),
FooRecord.BAZ, "biffle")
or
updatePartial(new Key<FooRecord>(FooRecord.clsas, FooRecord.FOO_ID, 5),
FooRecord.BAR_ID, 6, FooRecord.BAZ, "biffle")
None of our code was doing this anyway. We were already using Key everywhere or
the (Class, Comparable) method for records with a single column as primary key.
