I also tried it with and without the line ending and it didn't work either way :). Are you running a version of mysql >= 4.1.0 ? "If you specify the ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE clause (new in MySQL 4.1.0), and a row is inserted that would cause a duplicate value in a UNIQUE index or PRIMARY KEY, an UPDATE of the old row is performed." http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/INSERT.html Also, note - I was VERY WRONG! You are allowed to follow the statement with what you want updated - and I believe you're supposed to. I knee-jerked that first answer, assuming it must be it since the information was so redundant - my apologies. I expect, however, that you're not supposed to specify the key again with the update part, though I suppose it's possible to.
