 I'm developing plugins and wordpress theme for my private project. To the
 point, i have found problem about "wpdb->update and update_post_meta".

 The update result (on database) is incorrect when i use increment
 variable.
 Example: I build viewPageCounter function, so in single.php I update the
 meta_value (of the post_views_count column) with countered or increment
 variable.But the result is always +1 (more 1 point from the true result).

 But after i remove the rel='prev' and rel='next' on wp_head() using
 remove_action( 'wp_head', 'adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head' ); the result
 is correct.

 First trial, i use
 $count = get_post_meta('20', $count_key, true); //example the $count is 11
 $count++; //to be 12
 update_post_meta('20', 'post_views_count', $count); //on database is 13

 2nd trial, i use $wpdb->get_results and $wpdb->update, I got the same
 result.

 Finally i trace and got the problem is on wp_head() in rel=next. So after
 remove it using remove_action( 'wp_head',
 'adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head' ); i got the correct result
 $count = get_post_meta('20', $count_key, true); //example the $count is 11
 $count++; //to be 12
 update_post_meta('20', 'post_views_count', $count); //on database is 12
