bug:update from virtual table (geopoly),and no return received
Login
The update query is ill-formed.

There are no conditions joining tables `times` and `pathway` expressed in the query.

It devolves to simply:

update times set block_id = 6 where block_id == 3;

with a useless reference to table `pathway`.  While this should not be harmful (other than doing a table scan to cross join `times` and `pathway` for each candidate where `times.block_id == 3`) it should not cause a problem.  However, depending on how many rows are in the tables, the cross join operation could take a very long time.
