Perhaps you created the column with a capital letter? If that's the
case, you'll have to quote the column name: ... set
"NewColumn"='something'. If that's what happened, I'd suggest dropping
and recreating the column in all-lowercase.
If this didn't help, please post the output of the "SELECT *" verbatim.
