Bind parameters =============== In order to paramterise a query you should use binding parameters and avoid string formatting. This is particularly important with user input as string formatting may leave you vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. Quart-DB only supports keyword bind parameters with the latter utilising `buildpg `_ for postgresql databases. The Quart-DB connection instance methods accept a query (str) and a collection of values as arguments. A ``UndefinedParameterError`` will be raised if a parameter is specified in the query without a parameter being provided. Keyword binds ------------- Keyword binds are so called as the values are taken by key-name, and hence should be supplied via a dictionary. .. code-block:: python await connection.execute( "SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE a = :a AND b = :b", {"a": 1, "b": 2}, )
