Longcountdown,
The code works. I hesitate when asked to delete tables from the database. So here is how I implemented mine. I did not delete the pageview table. I just commented out the required code so as to not call the pageview table in each story as explained by longcountdown. Then I just EMPTIED the pageview table using this mod:

Or simply empty the table in phpmyadmin
Now I have an empty pageview table that never increases in size! This is great for future compatability issues since any modules or mods that requires the pageview table would not cause a problem.
