Is there a way in Zend to increment an integer, held in a MySQL column, by 1?
Thanks

My current code is like:
$row = $this->find($imageId)->current();
$row->votes = // THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO SAY INCREMENT
$row->save();

Might I offer the following suggestion
$row->votes++;
Yes there is. Here's an example using products and incrementing a quantity field:
$table = 'products';
$data = array('prd_qnty' => new Zend_Db_Expr('prd_qnty + 1'));
$where[] = $db->quoteInto('pr_id = ?', $this->pr_id);
$db->update($table, $data, $where);
votes++ does not protect against race conditions from other requests, that's why it is desirable to have a database solution.
For example: imagine two requests come in at almost the same time
1st request loads object - votes is 500
2nd request loads object - votes is 500
1st increments value in memory - votes is 501
2nd increments value in memory - votes is 501
1st saves to db - votes is 501
2nd saves to db - votes is 501 (should be 502)
