It could be something as simple as the cache not being cleared. If you alter the database, you need to clear the cache for the correct value to be displayed.

I wrote a custom module which updates one value in my content_type_d table. Code appears to work perfectly. The problem is that when I view the node afterward in the browser, the new value is NOT seen. Even though I confirm that the new value IS in MySQL, the old value appears on the page. The only way to get a new value to appear is to edit the node manually. The field type is integer text field.
I realize there is something that I am missing. Can someone clue me in?
Thanks.
