Hello Following part of an database query works fine :
self.cur=con1.cursor self.cur.execute('select a,b,c,d from t1') for (a,b,c,d) in self.cur: print a,b,c,d but how to do this: self.cur.execute(sql_select_text_put_in_at_runtime) for (whatever_was_in_the_select_text_part_of_the_query) in self.cur: print 'returned result set' Will it be necessary to parse the sql string and find any possible return columns or is there a better way so that the query can be used generically , that is without knowing at coding time what or how many columns will be returned ?
