Question

I’m kind of new in python and want to make a MySQL select.

I want to select from the MySQL and add a variable to the query like this:

date = now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d)
sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE date='%s'" % date

(This offcourse, doesn’t work)
I’m used to Php so this is kind of new to me as you can see 🙂

THANKS!

Maybe this does what you want…

date = now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d)
sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE date= '%s' "
sql = sql % (date)
cursor.execute(sql)
results = cursor.fetchall()
