The weird thing is that in cases where the record was freshly inserted, the second tableupdate() didn't work. The quick and dirty solution was to run this twice, which worked so I didn't lose too much time on it (it had about 70000 records to create/update), but I'm just curious as to why would this happen at all.

I think I remember something like this. And IIRC, the first tableupdate() moves the record pointer. Could it be the case?
