For the benefit of future searchers, can you please tell us which
varieties of cursor.execute() it works on -- copy/paste the code that
was run, please, rather than some possibly vague/ambiguous
narrative :-)
and do please try it using a parameterised method ("trial 2"), because
that's much more prefereable to build-your-own SQL ("trial 1") if both
work.

Cheers,
John
