What you describe is on the single query level. What I was thinking of was
having several queries that /should/ work as a single unit, but could get
interrupted (because of the OPs ctrl-c).
Yes, Chris was probably right about using a transaction to fix that, but
that has to be learned - knowledge I do not take for granted with a
hobbyist.

I think that would make the matter even worse. It could be silently doing
some housekeeping work, and a hard shutdown of the 'puter (for whatever
reason) could easily trash the whole database.
And yes, I'm playing the advocate of the devil there. :-)
