question about deleting records from mysql

[nephish at xit.net]

ok. did this

>>> cursor.execute("DELETE FROM table WHERE autoinc > 1000")
245L
>>> cursor.commit()

i got an AttributeError 'Cursor' object has no attribute 'commit'

hmm. what should i do now?
the stuff about writing a lightweight layer between the dbapi and the
program shot right over my head. sorry, but thanks
