Its NOT that i have not read it exactly, but for some strange reason i was under the belief that the way i had syntactically typed the UPDATE query was correctly and more consistent and similar to thr INSERT query and it was prefered to me over the other one. UPDATE visitors SET (pagesID, host, ref, location, useros, browser, visits) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s) WHERE host LIKE "%s" Its still a mystery to em whay this fails syntactically when at the same time INSERT works like that. We give each columnn a specific value i don't see why it must only be written as UPDATE visitors SET a=1, b=2, c=3 ... WHERE host LIKE %s. i knew that would work, but the first way although proven syntactically wrong seems so right ..... -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
