Here's what I would do. Is it OK? def ExecuteWithNoFetching(self, queryString): sqlServerConnection = adodbapi.connect (";".join (connectors)) try: cursor = sqlServerConnection.cursor() try: cursor.execute(queryString) raise Exception("Exception") sqlServerConnection.commit() finally: cursor.close() finally: sqlServerConnection.close() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
