Python and MySQLdb: substitution of table resulting in syntax error

Question

I need to dynamically change tables and variables from time to time, so I wrote a python method like this:

    selectQ =\"\"\"SELECT * FROM  %s WHERE %s = %s         


        

Answer 1

You'll have to use string substitution to add the table and column names, the driver will only handle parameters.
