SQL SELECT question...

[Dmitry Rozmanov]

I think your problem is that in SQL string literals are like 'string'
not "string", and 'str%' instead "str*" for LIKE. At least I had such a
problem at first. 

So try: 
	"SELECT sf FROM st WHERE sf='ss'"
or
	"SELECT sf FROM st WHERE sf='%s'" % "ss"

Hope this helps.
