-1 As much as I'd like to be able to do this, I don't think this can be done in a backwards compatible way that is guaranteed to do the right thing in all cases. If the query has one placeholder and the parameter is a one-element sequence, it is impossible to know for certain whether the sequence itself or its only contained element should be bound as the parameter. I think we should refuse the temptation to guess and go with the established semantics. -- Carsten Haese http://informixdb.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ DB-SIG maillist - DB-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig
