Re: quoting - bug ?

Billy,

I am CC'ing this to the one of our developers who experienced
the problem (under Debian unstable, with Python 2.2.*).

He may be able to provide more detail.

Regards,
Karsten

Ian, this is what I posted:
>> suppose I want to find occurrences of "test" in a column
>> "data" in a table "testtable". SQL would be:
>>
>> select * from testtable where data='test';
>>
>> Rewriting that for use with pyPgSQL:
>>
>> query = "select * from testtable where data=%s;"
>> arg = "test"
>> curs.execute(query, arg)
>>
>> Right ?
>>
>> However, this will produce the query:
>>
>>  select * from testtable where data='test;'
>>
>> which is wrong.
>>
>> Is this a bug or am I not using pyPgSQL properly (if so it
>> needs to be in the docs) ?
