sqlite value wont update - python-3.x

Question

Im trying to update custommer ("cliente") information in an Sqlite database but there's just one value that wont update. When I tried to update the column 'fechaDeuda' (date of debt) it just wont do it. Weird thing is: I've coded a function to handle all updates and it works fine with all the other cases, even when being called in 'Problematic Line' (see code below) the function executes every statement of the database update and does not throw any exception but still the value in dataBase doesnt change.
Here's the code where I update three values on the same row:
try:
table = 'clientes'
_cliente = sqGenericSelectOne(table, None, 'id', generic.id) # This function retrieves one row based on the arguments passed
clienteID = _cliente[0]
fecha = date_time.split(' - ')[0]
sqUpdateOne(table, 'fechaDeuda', fecha, 'id', clienteID) #### Problematic line (!!!)
nuevoSaldo = float(_cliente[9]) - _pago
if nuevoSaldo < 0:
nuevoSaldo = 0
sqUpdateOne(table, 'saldo', nuevoSaldo, 'id', clienteID) # This line works fine
nuevoTotalPagado = float(_cliente[11]) + _pago
sqUpdateOne(table, 'totalPagado', nuevoTotalPagado, 'id', clienteID) # This one works fine too
except Exception as e:
error(0, e)
**Edit (for some reason this got erased when I posted)**Heres the 'sqUpdateOne' code:
# Sqlite database value updater
def sqUpdateOne(table, column, newValue, refColumn, refValue):
try:
with conn:
c.execute(f'''UPDATE {table} SET {column} = {newValue} WHERE {refColumn} = {refValue}''')
print()
return
except Exception as e:
error(3, e, table)
return
And here's how the dataBase table 'clientes' is created in case it's necessary. The table works fine for everything else. I keep track of it using https://sqliteonline.com/
table = 'clientes'
try:
c.execute(f'''CREATE TABLE {table} (
id integer,
nombre text,
apellido text,
valoracion real,
direccion text,
tel_1 text,
tel_2 text,
correo text,
cantServicios integer,
saldo real,
fechaDeuda text,
totalPagado real,
descripcion text)''')
state(2)
except Exception as e:
error(2, e, table)
Edit: I add here screenshot of sqUpdateOne when called to update 'fecha' so you guys can see the values it gets (again, it works perfectly fine in all other cases):
And heres a screenshot of the dataBase's content before trying to update it (it remains the same after)
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I think you are getting an exception when you execute the sqUpdateOne() for the column fechaDeuda because the query string is not quite correct. As it's a text column you need to enclose the value in quotes.
So change how you are setting the variable fecha to wrap it in quotes:
fecha = f'"{date_time.split(' - ')[0]}"'
A sidenote: you could also remove the explicit return statements in sqUpdateOne() as you return from the function any way after these lines.
