Hi; I tried this: cursor.execute('drop table tmp%s', tmpTable)
and got this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/www/html/angrynates.com/cart/cart.py", line 196, in ? cart() File "/var/www/html/angrynates.com/cart/cart.py", line 189, in cart cursor.execute('drop table tmp%s', tmpTable) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/MySQLdb/cursors.py", line 163, in execute self.errorhandler(self, exc, value) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 35, in defaulterrorhandler raise errorclass, errorvalue ProgrammingError: (1064, "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''127541158007'' at line 1") But when I print that statement out (exchanging the comma for a %) and manually enter it: mysql> drop table tmp127541158007; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) I am able to successfully drop the table.
