This won't work for a number of reasons.

First, you need to have [query row-count=1 ....] or [query list=1 ....][sql-
code][/query] to get a row count back.

Second, unless you set AutoCommit to 0 in the database configuration,
you won't be in transactions mode and your commit won't do anything.

IMHO, using the [query ...] ITL tag for setting database values is not
a good idea. It doesn't give you the kind of control you need. It is
better to either use DBI or to use Interchange's supplied methods
(set_slice, delete_record, etc.).
