Many Python database drivers (like pyodbc) support only one parameter style\u2014typically ordinal qmark (?) or format (%)\u2014but developers often prefer named parameters (:name) for readability and safety. This package bridges that gap by accepting a query and parameters in any style and converting them to the style your driver expects.\n\nYou create an SQLParams instance specifying the input and output styles, then call format() or formatmany() to convert queries and their parameter dictionaries. It handles scalar values, tuples (for SQL IN clauses), and batch operations. The package supports seven parameter styles: qmark, numeric, named, format, pyformat, numeric_dollar, and named_dollar, plus Oracle and SQL Server variants.","worth_installing":"Yes. sqlparams solves a real compatibility problem with minimal friction: it's a pure-Python package with no dependencies, supports current Python versions (3.8\u20133.13), carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. Its dormant maintenance status is not a concern for a stable utility with a narrow, well-defined scope. Install it if you need to bridge parameter style mismatches between your code and your database driver."},"id":"sqlparams","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlparams","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlparams.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sqlparams/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-01-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sqlparams","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Convert between various DB API 2.0 parameter styles."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":6777211,"position":1851,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.2.0"}
