Re: Updates failing yet saying they succeeded.

Thanks to everyone who answered my email so quickly. Yet more proof
that OpenSource/Free Software support is better than commercial
software.

T'was my bad not PgSQL's fault. I'm the fool who can't type correctly
and entered incorrect chassis numbers confusing myself and accusing
PgSQL of doing something wrong.

I trust that you did a direct copy-n-paste, and that your first
example is intended to show an update that _says_ it updated (but
didn't), and your second example is to show an updated that did
succeed?

If my assumptions are correct, then it looks like you don't really
have any problems (with postgres). You updated one chassis_number,
but did a select for a different chassis_number in your first query.

I've been having a few problems with PgSQL not updateing data
correctly. Here is some evidence:

autosupply_co_jp=> update vehicle set fob_price =420000 where
chassis_number
autosupply_co_jp-> = 'RA2-1002998';
UPDATE 1
autosupply_co_jp=> select fob_price from vehicle where
chassis_number = 'RA2-1042998';
fob_price
-----------
430000
(1 row)

autosupply_co_jp=> update vehicle set fob_price = 420000 where
chassis_number = 'RA2-1042998';
UPDATE 1
autosupply_co_jp=> select fob_price from vehicle where
chassis_number = 'RA2-1042998';
fob_price
-----------
420000
(1 row)

WTF is up with that?
