mysqldb - parameter issue

[bruce]

hey dennis...

umm.. given that i'm building the ins var/string to insert into the
execute... i can't just place the triple quotes around it..

are you saying that the execute should have quotes placed around it
within the execute
so it would be something like
 execute("\""+sel""\""...

or are you saying that within python i can just extend the line for
the "sel" on multiple lines..

as to the err.
  i'm getting a " >>> Warning: Data truncated for column

it appears that if i place the >>from_unixtime(%s) << at the end of
the paramaters, then everything works.. but if i place it within the
"%s" block.. the error is generated.

I'm assuming there's some way to wrap the from_unixtime(%s) so it
could be used as

%s,%s,%s, from_unixtime(%s), %s, %s,...

in checking the docs/spec.. i didn't see anything that discussed this...

thanks
