What is the equivalent of psycopg curs.mogrify on mysql?

mysql, psycopg, python

Solution

MySQL doesn't have anything built in that returns a query string like this. If you want to perform a query with variables substituted in, you use `PREPARE` and EXECUTE:

PREPARE stmt AS "INSERT INTO test(num, data) VALUES (?, ?)";
EXECUTE stmt USING 42, 'bar';

Problem

What would be the equivalent of psycopg's `cur.mogrify` on mysql? From: http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/cursor.html mogrify(operation[, parameters]) Return a query string after arguments binding. The string returned is exactly the one that would be sent to the database running the execute() method or similar. >cur.mogrify("INSERT INTO test (num, data) VALUES (%s, %s)", (42, 'bar')) >"INSERT INTO test (num, data) VALUES (42, E'bar')" DB API extension The mogrify() method is a Psycopg extension to the DB API 2.0. Thanks in advance.
