IIRC, per Python DB-API PEP, the DB adapter you use try to escape and
quote any parameter you specified. Please try to use python parameters,
that are "% (param1, param2, ...)", only for values; not for any other
place in the query string.

To summarize, you can only use parameters for values, not keys.
