because the sybase module is well-written and you get a usefull
mx.DateTime object. (i think :)

two solutions:

1/ use psycopg and bound variables (psycopg has an extension that allows
   you to directly insert a DateTime, e.g.)

       curs.execute("""INSERT INTO xxx VALUES (%d, %s)""",
                    (123, psycopg.TimestampFromMx(your_datetime_object)))

2/ convert the DateTime object yourself and insert the result into the db
   (see both DBAPI and mx documentation for that).
