title: How to commit a UPDATE in raw SQL in python
body: <pre><code>cursor = connection.cursor()
  cursor.execute("UPDATE public.rsvp SET status=TRUE WHERE rsvp_id=%s", [rsvp_id])
  cursor.execute("SELECT status, rsvp_id FROM public.rsvp WHERE rsvp_id=%s", [rsvp_id])
  row = cursor.fetchall()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I execute this in my Django project, I get the row returned as I expect to see it, but later when I select query for the same row, it appears as tho the statement was never really run. In my code, the column "status" defaults to NULL. After this is run, I still see NULL in my table.</p>
