I just read the thread in http://www.mail-archive.com/db-sig@python.org/msg00478.html
and am wondering what is currently 'best' for an application developer if we want our code to be portable across the various db modules? Here is what I am currently doing: import MySQLdb con = MySQLdb.connect(...) cur = con.cursor() ret = cur.execute( "insert into logs (host, facility) values (%(host)s, %(facility)s)", {'host': 'foo3', 'facility': 'bar3'} ) I am also wondering what the best way is to specify object names: print "#1", cur.execute("select count(*) as ncount from `logs`" ) print "#2", cur.execute("select count(*) as ncount from `%s`" %('logs') ) print "#3", cur.execute("select count(*) as ncount from %(table)s", {'table':'logs'} ) ! # errors because it gets quoted with single quote, not back quote. bug?
