This is one of my most common typos for some reason.

Also I'd note that for cgi use you really should use a gadfly
server for safety.  It is conceivable that two cgi clients could
access the database at once otherwise and the updates from
one of them would probably get lost.  It will also probably run
faster if the database gets big.
