SQL query with a variable amount of parameters

[Antares]

Nothing works! :(
I've tried them as a tuple, I even tried it as a hardcoded list or tuple. like items_IDs = [4,5,6,7]. I get the same error, function simply doesn't recognize it as a set of multiple items, it sees it as just one.

Update:
Managed to solve it, although I kinda can't understand the issue:

def sql_select(query, *args):
    . . .
    db.execute(query, *args)

I've added the asterisk inside the body and it works now. But in none of the examples I've seen, asterisk was used there, only in the head section of the function.
