	I'm not going to inflict the group with the whole quote again, but...
What does the documentation for your db-api adapter (hmmm... have I even
installed one on my new computer <G>) indicate may happen if you get an
exception when adding a record? Hopefully it leaves the choice of rollback
vs commit up to you.

	In pseudo-code:

con = db.connect(...)
cur = con.cursor()

for f in data:
	if f not in somelist:
		cur.execute("delete from table where field = %s",
					f)
con.commit()	#make deletes permanent in database

for f in otherdata:
	cur.execute("select * from table where field = %s", f)
	#while a try/except:pass might have the same result,
	#if you don't check for details it could hide OTHER errors
	if not cur.fetchall():
		#record not found in database, go ahead and add it
		cur.execute("insert into table (x, y, z) values (%s, %s, %s)",
					(a, b, c)	)
con.commit()

	If you don't commit, and just exit the program, the database will throw
away all your changes.
