I know this works fine if my database is MySQL. And maybe others.

seq_id = db.insert('mytable', first="Bob",last="Smith",joined=web.SQLLiteral("NOW()"))

Well, right now, the database customers will use is MySQL, but it may not be the case in the near future. How can I ensure I won’t get headaches if the customer decides it has to work on Postgres, Oracle, SQL Server and whatnot?

    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is synonymous with NOW() and standard SQL so you might as well use that in preference.
