a question about mysqldb

[Eric Wertman]

Just to make sure I understand what you are showing me here:

> columns = ('tID', 'tNote')
> table_name = 'tmp'
> sql = 'select %s from %s where tID=:1' % ( ', '.join(columns), table_name)
> cursor.execute(sql, (1,))
>
> # sql is now 'select tID, tNote from tmp where tID=:1'
> # note the comma in argument tuple to execute (1,)


This means I could use this type of syntax?

sql = 'SELECT (date,time,name,size,count,stuff,flavor) FROM crazyTable
where monster=:1 and feet=:2 and price=:3'

cursor.execute(sql,('cookie','3',77.44))

?

I've not encountered that argument style before.
