## Mutations
In GraphQL mutations is the operation type for when you need to modify data. Super Graph supports the `insert`, `update`, `upsert` and `delete` database operations. Here are some examples.
In GraphQL mutations is the operation type for when you need to modify data. Super Graph supports the `insert`, `update`, `upsert` and `delete`. You can also do complex nested inserts and updates.
When using mutations the data must be passed as variables since Super Graphs compiles the query into an prepared statement in the database for maximum speed. Prepared statements are are functions in your code when called they accept arguments and your variables are passed in as those arguments.

### Using variables
## Nested Mutations
Often you will need to create or update multiple related items at the same time. This can be done using nested mutations. For example you might need to create a product and assign it to a user, or create a user and his products at the same time. You just have to use simple json to define you mutation and Super Graph takes care of the rest.
### Nested Insert
Create a product item first and then assign it to a user
```json
{
"data": {
"name": "Apple",
"price": 1.25,
"created_at": "now",
"updated_at": "now",
"user": {
"connect": { "id": 5 }
}
}
}
```
```graphql
mutation {
product(insert: $data) {
id
name
user {
id
full_name
email
}
}
}
```
Or it's reverse, create the user first and then his product
```json
{
"data": {
"email": "thedude@rug.com",
"full_name": "The Dude",
"created_at": "now",
"updated_at": "now",
"product": {
"name": "Apple",
"price": 1.25,
"created_at": "now",
"updated_at": "now"
}
}
}
```
```graphql
mutation {
user(insert: $data) {
id
full_name
email
product {
id
name
price
}
}
}
```
### Nested Updates
Update a product item first and then assign it to a user
```json
{
"data": {
"name": "Apple",
"price": 1.25,
"user": {
"connect": { "id": 5 }
}
}
}
```
```graphql
mutation {
product(update: $data, id: 5) {
id
name
user {
id
full_name
email
}
}
}
```
Or it's reverse, update a user first and then his product
```json
{
"data": {
"email": "newemail@me.com",
"full_name": "The Dude",
"product": {
"name": "Banana",
"price": 1.25,
}
}
}
```
```graphql
mutation {
user(update: $data, id: 1) {
id
full_name
email
product {
id
name
price
}
}
}
```
## Using variables
Variables (`$product_id`) and their values (`"product_id": 5`) can be passed along side the GraphQL query. Using variables makes for better client side code as well as improved server side SQL query caching. The build-in web-ui also supports setting variables. Not having to manipulate your GraphQL query string to insert values into it makes for cleaner
and better client side code.

### Full text search
## Full text search
Every app these days needs search. Enought his often means reaching for something heavy like Solr. While this will work why add complexity to your infrastructure when Postgres has really great
and fast full text search built-in. And since it's part of Postgres it's also available in Super Graph.
