	First thing -- DON'T put quotes around the %s place-holders... The
whole purpose of using the parameterized .execute() is to let the
database adapter properly escape the parameters before putting them into
the SQL (since MySQL didn't have prepared statements before v5, it was
producing full SQL statements for each insert, even with .executemany()
)
