Any quoting that's needed will be done by .execute().
Will this also work without the parentheses? > cursor.execute('''SELECT hits FROM counters WHERE page = %s and > date = %s and host = %s''', page, date, host) or python will not allow it cause it might think there are 4 args isntead of two? > cursor.execute(''' SELECT hits FROM counters WHERE page = '%s' and > date = '%s' and host = '%s' ''', (page, date, host)) Whats happens if i attempt to also quote by single or double quoting the above although now i'm aware that .execute method does the quoting for me? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
