How in the world do I pass a string variable into GQL with python?? I can do it fine in SQL but it just isn’t working. here is what I have: 

personalposts = db.GqlQuery("select * from PersonalPost where user_id = %s order by created desc limit 30" % user_id)

This has been killing me but should be really simple I feel.

Thanks!

    This should work:

    personalposts = db.GqlQuery("select * from PersonalPost where user_id =:1 order by created desc limit 30",user_id)

    GqlQuery syntax examples:

    q = GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Song WHERE composer = 'Lennon, John'")

q = GqlQuery("SELECT __key__ FROM Song WHERE composer = :1", "Lennon, John")

q = GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Song WHERE composer = :composer", composer="Lennon, John")
