Updating error in sequelize

Question

What kind of error is this?

Unhandled rejection SequelizeDatabaseError: ER_EMPTY_QUERY: Query was empty
    at Query.formatError (node_modules/sequelize/lib/dialects/mysql/query.js:159:14)

I'm trying to update an entity with the following code:

db.Account.update({
                    'post_id': data.id
                }, {
                  where: { id: account.id }
                })
                .spread(account => {

                  next();
                });

but it doesn't work. Any idea?

The same issue I was facing and after a lot of debugging found out the silly mistake. The reason for me was in mysql added a column and forgot to add the same to sequelize model representing the same table so for your case also will suggest you to just double check for post_id is present in Account sequelize model.
