According to the docs, single update statements are atomic.

So why doesn't this work?

mysql> create table t (num INT, UNIQUE (num));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> insert into t values ('1');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> insert into t values ('2');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from t;
+------+
| num  |
+------+
|    1 |
|    2 |
+------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> update t set num=num+1;
ERROR 1062: Duplicate entry '2' for key 1
mysql>

Help!
