 will be used as the document's _id, otherwise nedb will generate one.

 ### Updating documents
 `db.update(query, update, options, callback)` will update all documents matching `query` according to the `update` rules:

+  * The available modifiers are `$set` to change a field's value and `$inc` to increment a field's value. The modifiers create the fields they need to modify if they don't exist, and you can apply them to subdocs (see examples below)

   * `multi` (defaults to `false`) which allows the modification of several documents if set to true
