Instead when I use a different way of implementing string formatting, I get a different error,

Now, I want to know how will you present a tuple of variables (of types int, text, date, time) to the query string. I know am making mistakes in passing the variables using the string formatting. :(

Does psycopg not handle quoting for you? Almost all database interfaces
nowadays support something like:
result = myquery.execute('INSERT INTO foo (anInt,aDate,aText) VALUES
(?,?,?)', query_parameters);Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/ConfSachem/page2.py", line 75, in ? main(num_days) File "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/ConfSachem/page2.py", line 68, in main query = cursor.execute('INSERT INTO ConfMain (ConfName, ConfHost, ConfStart, ConfEnd, ConfDays, ConfStartTime, ConfEndTime, ConfSize) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)' % (conf_name, host_name, start_day, end_day, num_days, start_time, end_time, aud_size)) TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting
The interface deals with quoting the "?" based on the type definitions
in the database.
Trying to quote things yourself is tricky. You'll need to handle
single-quotes in a string yourself - easy to get it wrong.
I tried to remove the single quotes and use the way you have told me as above. Still i get an error...
