Of course, we will not resolv this issue, sql code will still be
specific to database.
But, as a developer using differents databases, even if i accept to
write specific sql code, i like to use the same paramstyle. So i wrote
my own paramstyle with $x and write a litle wrapper to database
paramstyle (and i will gain 2 lines of code if i could know the
paramstyle from the connection). My own because it's a lot of corner
cases and i prefer to know exactly what i do...
Don't forget that a lot of developers tired of paramstyle
incompatibilities don't use any of them and use string concatenation
instead !
What do you think about qmark mandatory and an sqlparamters function in
stdlib ?
Maybe an extension of string format, it could be fine to can do:
i = "update mytable set x={v}".sqlformat
cursor.execute(i(v=5))
