	I'm pretty sure that MySQLdb, at least, does not require the 
			, (,)
when there are no placeholders in the SQL statement. Might even cause an
error if the adapter doesn't detect that the tuple is empty as the last
stage of .execute() would be performing

	"insert into mytable(datefield) values (NULL)" % (,)

-=-=-=-
>>> "insert into mytable(datefield) values (NULL)" % (,)
Traceback (  File "<interactive input>", line 1
    "insert into mytable(datefield) values ()" % (,)
                                                      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> "insert into mytable(datefield) values (%s)" % (,)
Traceback (  File "<interactive input>", line 1
    "insert into mytable(datefield) values (%s)" % (,)
                                                    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> "insert into mytable(datefield) values (NULL)" % (1,)
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting
>>> "insert into mytable(datefield) values (%s)" % (1,)
'insert into mytable(datefield) values (1)'

	Actually, it is more likely to break on the step that escapes the
parameters, which (simplified) looks something like

>>> tuple('"%s"'%x for x in (,))
Traceback (  File "<interactive input>", line 1
    tuple('"%s"'%x for x in (,))
                             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
