I wouldn't trust that build for production uses; see
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html .

What do you get with "select eitemcode,itemavail from inventory where
eitemcode=6100122"? "UPDATE 0" means no row matched the "where" clause.

If this select does return rows, something truely weird is happening. If it
does not return rows, there may be some kind of typing/casting issue at
work.
