Nope, you have to dump the article to a file, edit it, and re-insert it (update) into the database;

From your link:
"It makes the function look complicated as it has multiple exit points (return statements)."

hmm... you mix up 2 things. It is more like you add complexity by introducing multiple exit points.

Noun

"A small handful of doctors in China are..."

Is "small handful" common usage in English?

-Your friendly neighborhood sheriff.

Is this /.? Buying a house and downsizing? I assumed he lived in a smaller place right now than the house he is going to buy.

So time to start collecting and piling up old computer junk from relatives and friends for the big move and plan the lab he is going to build in his new house. I am sure he can fit some file storage in there...
