In order to understand the issues you are facing you will need to share how you are passing the data to a query (hopefully a named update query) and also what the query you are using to do the update.

Perspective will not report errors unless you catch and display them (unless they appear in the wrapper log, I can't remember off top of head). In any case, you should always display errors to the user on button actions with a try/except. For sql errors you'll need to catch both python Exception as well as java.lang.Throwable exceptions. Do a search on this forum for that to find examples
