Dear all, I'm trying to do the following query using mysql to display the tables ending for an year:
show tables like '%2003' No problem if I use the same sintax with the engine: engine.execute("SHOW TABLES LIKE '%%2003'").fetchall() But when I try to use a variable like an year: year="2003" engine.execute("SHOW TABLES LIKE '%%%s'"%year).fetchall() I have the following error: db=self.engine.execute("SHOW TABLES LIKE '%%%s'" % year).fetchall() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/SQLAlchemy-0.1.5-py2.4.egg/sqlalchemy/engine.py", line 691, in execute File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/SQLAlchemy-0.1.5-py2.4.egg/sqlalchemy/engine.py", line 711, in _execute SQLError: (ProgrammingError) not enough arguments for format string "SHOW TABLES LIKE '%2003'" () In the latest line seems that the query was correct. In other program context I use the same syntax whitout using engine directly and works fine: tableDatas=self.repair.select(self.repair.c.technician.like('%%%s%%'%technician)).execute().fetchall() Where is the syntax error?
