OK, enough of the background, here's my issue. For some lovely reason,
even though my script reports running an UPDATE query 1563 times (out of
1566 rows), only 316 rows have is_ok set to TRUE. I've tried a few
times, changing this and that, and it always updates those 316 rows (no
reason for this, the data is actually really good when it comes in, I'm
just trying to build an extra layer of assuredness). Of particular note,
I'm trying to keep the script fairly uniform and work for all our
tables, so the UPDATE statement looks something like
UPDATE table SET is_ok = 'TRUE' WHERE var1 = value1 AND var2 = value2
AND var3 = value3.....

Have you run one of these queries via psql or something other than php?
I doubt its a "too many too fast" thing. I'd guess a logic error
someplace.
Why 1563 queries? Can you get the row's modified per query? If you're
tables looks like:
var1 | var2 | var3
--------------------
a | b | a
a | b | c
Would you fire of two query's like:
UPDATE table SET is_ok = 'TRUE' WHERE var1 = 'a' AND var2 = 'b' and var3
= 'a;
UPDATE table SET is_ok = 'TRUE' WHERE var1 = 'a' AND var2 = 'b' and var3
= 'c;
if so, do you generate the update's on the fly?
