Ugh! So stupid! Thanks for correcting that, but it wasn't the only problem.

Yes, this part gets executed.

This produces a page with a ProgrammingError 
(http://www.johnjsalerno.com/server_db_test.py), but the main part I 
guess is this:

ProgrammingError: (1064, "You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check 
the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right 
syntax to use near 'number(2))' at line 1")

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with the syntax though. I don't think 
I need semicolons (a sample I saw didn't use them).
