It does. "SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL repeatable read" will cause all of your SELECT statements to be SELECT... FOR UPDATE until you change it back. However, it's usually better to do this kind of thing with an atomic update: UPDATE seq SET count = count + 1 WHERE name = 'foo' If you want that value back, you can grab it like this: UPDATE seq SET count = LAST_INSERT_ID(count + 1) WHERE name = 'foo' SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() This is actually almost identical to the example from the documentation for the LAST_INSERT_ID function. - Perrin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
