Sorry, I don't recall. I wouldn't be at all surprised that it has something to do with Emacs's Python mode behavior. Emacs wouldn't know what to do with spaces in the string, but knows where to put string literals within the open parens. I'm pretty sure I was doing this before triple quoted strings existed. Thankfully, I don't need to mess around with SQL anymore. :-) Skip > -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
