Which interface library ? The sqlite3_ C calls ?

In SQL the UPDATE command has an optional WHERE clause that specifies which /records/ to update. You don't update a specific record, your command may make changes to zero, one or more records depending on how many records satisfy the clause. Updating zero records is not an error, it's simply a command that has no noticeable effect. What sort of command are you trying, and what error results from it ?
