Should this will update the existing record if the 'update' is querystring containing key datastore key. I try this but keep adding new record/entity. Please give me some sugesstion to correctly updating the record/entity.

Correction? :

There's no need to do a query when you know the key: Simply call db.get() on the key to retrieve it directly, which is much faster than doing a query.

As to why you're creating a new record each time, it looks like you're not passing in 'update' to your page correctly. Try logging the query string parameters to see what's going wrong.

I finally answer this myself, Thanks for Nick Johnson guide on this. I cannot get the query string url as 'string key' that always raise BadKeyError: Invalid string key exception.

I try to put this 'update' string as hidden field on html edit form and this works since 'update' is a valid 'string key' now.
