the problem is that the entry from python: cursor.execute("INSERT INTO
table (field) VALUES (3)") is not there.
the auto increment counts the entries 1,2,3,4,5, ect. the 3,4,5 in
the example above is where i've run the py script and as you can see
there are not there. the 6 is an entry from mysql.
so basically the data from python is not being entered but the auto
increment is being counted. thanks.
sorry about the dodgie description.
