Hey all!

Is there a better way to increase or decrease the value of an integer than doing something like:

---
UPDATE the_table SET the_int = the_int + 1 WHERE the_id = 123 ;
---

We seem to be getting a lot of deadlocks using this method under heavy load. Just wondering if we should be doing something different.

Thanks!

-William
