I'm using pyodbc to query to an SQL Server database
import datetime
import pyodbc
conn = pyodbc.connect("Driver={SQL Server};Server='dbserver',Database='db',
TrustedConnection=Yes")
cursor = conn.cursor()
ratings = ("PG-13", "PG", "G")
st_dt = datetime(2010, 1, 1)
end_dt = datetime(2010, 12, 31)
cursor.execute("""Select title, director, producer From movies
Where rating In ? And release_dt Between ? And ?""",
ratings, str(st_dt), str(end_dt))
but am receiving the error below. Does the tuple parameter need to be handled in a different way? Is there a better way to structure this query?
('42000', "[42000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 9:
Incorrect syntax near '@P1'. (170) (SQLExecDirectW);
[42000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]
Statement(s) could not be prepared. (8180)")
UPDATE:
I was able to get this query to work using the string formatting operator, which isn't ideal as it introduces security concerns.
import datetime
import pyodbc
conn = pyodbc.connect("Driver={SQL Server};Server='dbserver',Database='db',
TrustedConnection=Yes")
cursor = conn.cursor()
ratings = ("PG-13", "PG", "G")
st_dt = datetime(2010, 1, 1)
end_dt = datetime(2010, 12, 31)
cursor.execute("""Select title, director, producer From movies
Where rating In %s And release_dt Between '%s' And '%s'""" %
(ratings, st_dt, end_dt))
To expand on Larry's second option - dynamically creating a parameterized string, I used the following successfully:
placeholders = ",".join("?" * len(code_list))
sql = "delete from dbo.Results where RESULT_ID = ? AND CODE IN (%s)" % placeholders
params = [result_id]
params.extend(code_list)
cursor.execute(sql, params)
Gives the following SQL with the appropriate parameters:
delete from dbo.Results where RESULT_ID = ? AND CODE IN (?,?,?)
