Note Submitter: erikjr at gmail dot com ---- Keep in mind that unlike it's PostgreSQL counterpart (and I believe all others as well), the following query will return ALWAYS return 0 rows affected: <?php UPDATE table SET table.field = table.field WHERE 1 ?> Somehow, if you don't change any of the values, it's not counted as an update. This can be rather confusing if you, for example, try to increase an item by an integer and the integer happens to be 1, or if someone fills out a new name that is the same as the old name... If anyone knows a way around this, do please share ;)
