MySQLdb, problem with query with user-defined variables

[nilamo]

In the same time when using with pymssql returns connection and I have to get cursor myself.
I know because I have to work simultaneously with MySQL and MSSQL

Gross. I checked the pep for what db drivers are supposed to do as a context manager, and it didn't mention them at all, before I made my last comment.

ANYWAY. So you CAN make other queries just fine, right? It's just this one particular one isn't working? Is there a special way to do multi-statements?

What happens if you do something much simpler, like a double-select?

select curdate();
select curdate();

Do you get two result rows, or an error parsing the query?
