I also posted this in Django Users group, but figured it probably has more relevance for python group.
It seems like a freak problem to me. I spent a long hour to track the problem down and here it is: The following statement fails because it has the '%' sign in it. cursor.execute("select '%'") The error is: IndexError: list index out of range How do I address this problem? Please note that the following work just fine: cursor.execute("select 'x'") and the following also fails with the same error: cursor.execute("""select '%'""") cursor.execute("select '\%'") astr = "select '\%'" cursor.execute(astr) I greatly appreciate all helps, Regards, Sia -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
