Does Python support MySQL prepared statements?

by

Most languages provide a way to do generic parameterized statements, Python is no different. When a parameterized query is used databases that support preparing statements will automatically do so.

In python a parameterized query looks like this:

cursor.execute("SELECT FROM tablename WHERE fieldname = %s", [value])

The specific style of parameterization may be different depending on your driver, you can import your db module and then do a print yourmodule.paramstyle.

From PEP-249:

paramstyle

       String constant stating the type of parameter marker
       formatting expected by the interface. Possible values are
       [2]:

           'qmark'         Question mark style, 
                           e.g. '...WHERE name=?'
           'numeric'       Numeric, positional style, 
                           e.g. '...WHERE name=:1'
           'named'         Named style, 
                           e.g. '...WHERE name=:name'
           'format'        ANSI C printf format codes, 
                           e.g. '...WHERE name=%s'
           'pyformat'      Python extended format codes, 
                           e.g. '...WHERE name=%(name)s'
