[SOLVED] Adding to an entry in one operation

[longtone]

Is there a way to add a variable to an entry in one operation?

 

ie: there is an entry in column 'points' with value = 11

there is a variable $morepoints = 6

I want to update the entry to 17, but without having to SELECT it, perform the sum  and then UPDATE

UPDATE tbl SET points=points+6 WHERE id = 1;

So simple

 

Thanks
