 I've only tried this bug using "INSERT INTO" and "INSERT OR REPLACE INTO".
 The problem is that I can't use params. Here's what I was trying:

 {{{
 word = "pickle"
 translation = googleTranslate('english', 'chinese', word) #from, to, word-
 to-be-translated
 cursor.execute("INSERT INTO %s VALUES (%s, %s)", [table, word,
 translation]) # table won't insert here...
 }}}

 In order to bypass this, I had to insert it using a string, which was
 explicitly stated to be a security problem in the documentation:

 {{{
 insert_sql = "INSERT INTO %s VALUES" % (table_name)
 insert_sql = insert_sql + " (%s, %s)"
 cursor.execute(insert_sql, [title, translation])
 }}}

 (the code is a little different, because it's my actual code. I wrote the
 last code bit to try to better illustrate what's going on.)

 Best,
 Loren
