How to escape quotes in django sql formatting

I have the following code:



# looks like: "('tt1098327','tt3819668','tt0049251')", <type 'str'>
ids_as_string = "(-1)" if not ids else ("('" + "','".join(ids).strip("',") + "')")

items = list(Item.objects.raw("""SELECT * FROM mturk_imdb WHERE (MATCH(name) against(%s)) AND (imdb_id NOT IN %s)""", (q, ids_as_string )))


The problem with this is that the sql formatter tries to escape the quotes that I have added in for the tuple:




DatabaseError: (1064, "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''('tt1098327','tt3819668','tt0049251','tt3878722




What would be the correct way to do the above?

  • what exactly are you trying to do? do you want to create a tuple of ids to use as a variable in sql

  • why are you joining with a comma and then stripping at the comma again?

  • Why are you doing this as raw SQL rather than an ORM query, which would take care of all relevant escaping?

  • @DanielRoseman if you can show me how to do it as a regular ORM query I'm all for it -- note there's also a union in the query (not mentioned above) and two limits applied, so not really a straightforward query.

This might be a really stupid approach, but one way would be to combine the two different types of string formatting as follows:



sql = "SELECT * FROM mturk_imdb WHERE (MATCH(name) against(%s)) AND (imdb_id NOT IN %s) LIMIT 20 UNION SELECT * FROM mturk_imdb WHERE name=%s AND (imdb_id NOT IN %s) LIMIT 30" % ('%s', imdb_ids_as_tuple_str, '%s', imdb_ids_as_tuple_str)
items = list(Item.objects.raw(sql, (q, q)))


Where you need the exact unescaped string, you can use %, and where you want to escape user inputted data, you can use the , (params).
