ah! so it's a problem with the database? i thought that this parameter
substitution thing was an issue of the DB API and every python database
driver programmer just decides which one to use. so that's not true!
actually there should be a wrapper function on top of DB API that can
transform one single paramstyle into all the others. or is there a
technical reason why that's not possible? anyway once you maybe answer
this question i will make a suggestion to python DB guys to add this to
the FAQ. i tried to figure out why this is so for just too long time.
also that FAQ entry must point out why there is no wrapper, or where it
is :)

thx!
