Can you create a repeatable test version of this?  I.e. have one row
that does and one row that doesn't update?  And give it to the list as
a .sql file to be loaded along with the queries you're using?

I understand the general idea of what you're saying, but I'm afraid
there's not enough detail in your post to really help.
