Well, your SQL is bad: UPDATE my_table SET field1='new_value, field2='different_value' WHERE my_table_id = 'key'; > in psql, it reports that it has successfully updated one record. > However, the record does not appear to be updated when I subsequently > issue a SELECT for that record. I'll buy the fact that I may be using > illegal syntax - I'm not SQL expert, but the update says it worked when > in fact it did not. Should this have worked or should it have reported > an error? It's an error if it actually occurred that way. Can you cut-and-paste your actual PSQL session? > For record, this is Postgresql 7.3.1 on Solaris 9.

BTW, there are known bugs in 7.3.1; you should upgrade to 7.3.4. -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
