It's actually morte like: create connection create cursor execute SQL process cursor close cursor close connection The bit that you can avoid it the creation of the connection - that's an intensive process. If your system is single threaded, or if it's a very small app, you can just create a single open connection and keep using that. I usually find that I need a pool of open connections, though. -- Cheers, Simon B, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.brunningonline.net/simon/blog/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
