Changed FMDatabase's "- (BOOL)update:(NSString*)sql error:(NSError**)outErr bind:(id)bindArgs, ... " to "- (BOOL)update:(NSString*)sql withErrorAndBindings:(NSError**)outErr, ..." as the previous method didn't actually work as advertised in the way it was written. Thanks to @jaekwon for pointing this out.
