Using form to modify database table?

I am trying to write my first plugin that allows a user to modify a database table through submitting the form. The form executes but nothing gets changed in the table.

Do I need to write a current_user_can function? (I don’t get an error on this line though).

Is there another way to enable any user to modify the db?

Here is the relevant code (lines 8-47):

Note that I am using Otto’s method from 1 year ago. He says that form action=”” is fine.
