Since SQL may contain binary data.

data = bytes(range(256))
cursor.execute(u"INSERT INTO t (blob_col) values (%(data)s)", {"data": data})

DB driver should escape properly for SQL syntax, then decode with 
surrogateescape for % operator.

bytes in Python 3.5 supports % operator so I can use it instead of unicode %.
But I'll continue to support Python 3.4 for some years.
