I trust that you did a direct copy-n-paste, and that your first example is intended to show an update that _says_ it updated (but didn't), and your second example is to show an updated that did succeed?
 
If my assumptions are correct, then it looks like you don't really have any problems (with postgres). You updated one chassis_number, but did a select for a different chassis_number in your first query.

Subject: [GENERAL] Updates failing yet saying they succeeded.

I've been having a few problems with PgSQL not updateing data correctly.  Here is some evidence:

autosupply_co_jp=> update vehicle set fob_price =420000 where chassis_number
autosupply_co_jp-> = 'RA2-1002998';
UPDATE 1
autosupply_co_jp=> select fob_price from vehicle where chassis_number = 'RA2-1042998';
fob_price
-----------
    430000   
  (1 row)

autosupply_co_jp=> update vehicle set fob_price = 420000 where chassis_number = 'RA2-1042998';
UPDATE 1
autosupply_co_jp=> select fob_price from vehicle where chassis_number = 'RA2-1042998';
fob_price
-----------
    420000
(1 row)

WTF is up with that?
