I have been trying to pass parameters as indicated in the api. when I use: sql= 'select * from %s where cusid = %s ' % name,recID) Cursor.execute(sql)
it works fine, but when I try : sql= 'select * from %s where cusid like %s ' Cursor.execute(sql,(name,recID)) or sql= 'select * from ? where cusid like ? ' Cursor.execute(sql,(name,recID)) it fails. Can someone help me with the semantics of using parameterized queries? Bill -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
