It'd be even more logical to write: UPDATE visitors INCREMENT visits WHERE host CONTAINS %s; I should just use that syntax, and if it doesn't work, I'm going to post onto a mailing list until it magically starts working. It's NOT that I haven't read the docs - I'm just going to wilfully ignore them. Okay, I'm done now. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
