Placeholders are supposed to be used for *values*, not other parts of 
the SQL statement.  To insert table names, column names and stuff like 
that, use Python-level formatting.

try doing:

    table = "tmp"
    sql = "select tID,tNote from " + table + " where tID=%s"
    param = [1]
    s.dbptr.execute(sql, param)

the string value "tID" doesn't match an integer with the value 1, so 
that's expected.
