Probably you have "DEBUG = True" in your Django settings.py file. In debug mode, Django records every query that is executed in django.db.connection.queries. To fix it, either disable debug mode or just have your script go in and clear out that list from time to time. HTH, Ian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
