/**
* This example demonstrates how to implement dynamic updates
* with PATCH-like semantics using client-side SQL formatting.
*
* The program updates an employee by ID, modifying fields
* as provided by command-line arguments, and leaving all other
* fields unmodified.
*
* This example uses C++20 coroutines. If you need, you can backport
* it to C++14 (required by Boost.Describe) by using callbacks, asio::yield_context
* or sync functions instead of coroutines.
*
* This example uses the 'boost_mysql_examples' database, which you
* can get by running db_setup.sql.
