python list in sql query as parameter

Question

I have a python list, say l

l = [1,5,8]

I want to write a sql query to get the data for all the elements of the list, say

s         


        

Answer 1

string.join the list values separated by commas, and use the format operator to form a query string.

myquery = "select name from studens where id in (%s)" % ",".join(map(str,mylist))
