I hope this isn't a bone-head question - Is there a MySQL query that will increment/decrement the value in an integer column with a single query - in other words, I don't have to run a SELECT query to get the value, add/subtract to/from the value, and then run an UPDATE query to store the new value?
You mean:
    UPDATE table SET column = column + 1;
