// UpdateComment - updates a comment in the database
func (d *Database) UpdateComment(ctx context.Context, id string, cmt comment.Comment) (comment.Comment, error) {
	cmtRow := CommentRow{
		ID:     id,
		Slug:   sql.NullString{String: cmt.Slug, Valid: true},
		Body:   sql.NullString{String: cmt.Body, Valid: true},
		Author: sql.NullString{String: cmt.Author, Valid: true},
	}

	rows, err := d.Client.NamedQueryContext(
		ctx,
		`UPDATE comments SET
		slug = :slug,
		author = :author,
		body = :body 
		WHERE id = :id`,
		cmtRow,
	)
	if err != nil {
		return comment.Comment{}, fmt.Errorf("failed to insert comment: %w", err)
	}
	if err := rows.Close(); err != nil {
		return comment.Comment{}, fmt.Errorf("failed to close rows: %w", err)
	}

	return convertCommentRowToComment(cmtRow), nil
}

// DeleteComment - deletes a comment from the database
func (d *Database) DeleteComment(ctx context.Context, id string) error {
	_, err := d.Client.ExecContext(
		ctx,
		`DELETE FROM comments where id = $1`,
		id,
	)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("failed to delete comment from the database: %w", err)
	}
	return nil
