SQLite parameter substitution and quotes

Question

I have this line that works OK:

c.execute(\'select cleanseq from cleanseqs WHERE newID=\"%s\"\'%name)

But I want to use SQLite parameter su

Answer 1

To anyone who like me found this thread and got really frustrated by people ignoring the fact that sometimes you can't just ignore the quotes (because you're using say a LIKE command) you can fix this by doing something to the effect of:

var = name + "%"
c.execute('SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE name LIKE ?',(var,))

This will allow you to substitute in wildcards in this situation.
