Why doesn't MySQLdb provide a function like this:
def QuoteSQL(Str, DoWild) :
"""returns a MySQL string literal which evaluates to Str. Needed
for those times when MySQLdb's automatic quoting isn't good enough."""
Result = []
for Ch in str(Str) :
if Ch == "\0" :
Ch = "\\0"
elif Ch == "\010" :
Ch = "\\b"
elif Ch == "\011" :
Ch = "\\t"
elif Ch == "\012" :
Ch = "\\n"
elif Ch == "\015" :
Ch = "\\r"
elif Ch == "\032" :
Ch = "\\z"
elif Ch == "'" or Ch == "\"" or Ch == "\\" :
Ch = "\\" + Ch
elif DoWild and (Ch == "%" or Ch == "_") :
Ch = "\\" + Ch
#end if
Result.append(Ch)
#end for
return "\"" + "".join(Result) + "\""
#end QuoteSQL
