+## UPDATE inside database exports
+
+As `UPDATE` before version 2.0.0 used to create a specified record ID if it did not exist, it was used in the `.surql` files generated by the [`surreal export`](/docs/surrealdb/cli/export) command to export existing records in a database. As of version 2.0.0, the [`INSERT`](/docs/surrealql/statements/insert) statement is used instead.
