I don't think bind parameters can be used for table names, so you are
stuck with python format strings, but you can use a dictionary instead
of a tuple when formatting strings. Instead of using %s, you use
%(name)s, and instead of the tuple (name, name, name) you pass a single
dictionary {'name': <your_table_name>}

Hope that helps,
