```
User.query.filter_by(email='a@b.com').first()
User.query.filter(User.age > 30, User.name.ilike('%ram%')).all()

PUT vs Patch

Times asked 1

Example
```
POST /api/venues
PUT  /api/venues/1   {all fields}
PATCH /api/venues/1 {only name}
```
Project example: POST /api/venues create. PUT /venues/1 saari fields. PATCH sirf name.
