This can't be the most elegant way to get a command line parameter into
an sql query. It works but I can't explain why. Is there another, more
correct way? Here sys.argv[1] is a topic like "laugher" or "technology"
import mx.ODBC.Windows as odbc
import sys
driv='DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=d:/Access
Databases/Quotations2005'
conn = odbc.DriverConnect(driv)
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute ("SELECT Author, Topics.Topic1, Topic2, Quote FROM QUOTES7
WHERE Topics.Topic1 LIKE '%%%s%%'" % sys.argv[1])
rows = c.fetchall()
