Well,
here is a link to the code that I have for reading and writing items in the database. I have not yet completely tested it as I do not have access to my database right now; however, I know that reading items from the database works and since all of the SQL statements are generated in the same manner the insert and updates should work without any problems. If you run into an issue let me know as I will be updating my personal source as well to reflect the changes I made in this version and fixing any bugs.
I know this seems like a lot of code just for updating one table in the database but as I said earlier it is part of a much larger DBI and project that I am working on. Also, to correct my mistake from earlier there are not 250+ fields on the items tables there are actually only 131.
Well, let me know if this is of any use at all. Thanks.
