Modification Queries
====================
ArangoDB also allows removing, replacing, and updating documents based
on an example document. Every document in the collection will be
compared against the specified example document and be deleted/replaced/
updated if all attributes match.
These method should be used with caution as they are intended to remove or
modify lots of documents in a collection.
All methods can optionally be restricted to a specific number of operations.
However, if a limit is specific but is less than the number of matches, it
will be undefined which of the matching documents will get removed/modified.
[Remove by Example](../../../DataModeling/Documents/DocumentMethods.md#remove-by-example),
[Replace by Example](../../../DataModeling/Documents/DocumentMethods.md#replace-by-example) and
[Update by Example](../../../DataModeling/Documents/DocumentMethods.md#update-by-example)
are described with examples in the subchapter
[Collection Methods](../../../DataModeling/Documents/DocumentMethods.md).
