RE: Inserting variable into

So if I understand this correctly my new cur.execute would read:

account = 'JPMC'

 cur.execute("SELECT SUM(revusd) FROM sfdc where saccount = %s AND stage LIKE 'Commit%';",(account ))

and that would translate to

cur.execute("SELECT SUM(revusd) FROM sfdc where saccount = 'JPMC' AND stage LIKE 'Commit%';")

is that right?



Note You can use a Python list as the argument of the IN operator using the PostgreSQL ANY operator.
ids = [10, 20, 30]
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM data WHERE id = ANY(%s);", (ids,))
Furthermore ANY can also work with empty lists, whereas IN () is a SQL syntax error.
