Parametrizing TOP value in tsql and pyodbc

Question

I try to parametrize number of top rows to get from table.

I tried it with

db.cursor.execute(
        \'\'\'
        SELECT TOP ? VALUE FROM mytable 
           


        

Answer 1

You can use string formatting for the TOP (and a proper parameter for the WHERE) provided that top_limit is an int so there is very little danger of SQL Injection issues.
