mySQL UPDATE query returns “0 rows affected”

Question

I have this query:

UPDATE phonecalls 
   SET Called = \"Yes\" 
 WHERE PhoneNumber = \"999 29-4655\"

My table is phonecalls, I

Answer 1

The problem might be that there are no records with PhoneNumber == "999 29-4655".

Try this query:

SELECT * FROM phonecalls where PhoneNumber = '999 29-4655'

If it doesn't return anything, then there are no rows that match.
