Hello,
I have the following string:
>>> sql
"DELIMITER $$\nCREATE\nDEFINER='root'@'localhost'\nTRIGGER `Starling`.`request_node-beforeinsert`\nBEFORE INSERT ON `Starling`.`request_node`\nFOR EACH ROW\nBEGIN\n DECLARE `var-request_node_id` int(10) unsigned;\nDECLARE `var-is_active` enum('true','false');\nDECLARE `var-sequence` int(10) unsigned;\nDECLARE `var-parent_node_id` int(10) unsigned;\nDECLARE `var-type` enum('folder','template');\nDECLARE `var-content_manager_id` int(10) unsigned;\nDECLARE `var-created` datetime;\nDECLARE `var-modified` datetime;\nDECLARE `var-request_template_id` int(11) unsigned;\nDECLARE `var-request_folder_id` int(11) unsigned;\n DECLARE `var-_revision` BIGINT UNSIGNED;\n DECLARE revisionCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT `request_node_id`, `is_active`, `sequence`, `parent_node_id`, `type`, `content_manager_id`, `created`, `modified`, `request_template_id`, `request_folder_id` FROM `_revision_request_node` WHERE `_revision`=`var-_revision` LIMIT 1;\n \n IF NEW.`_revision` IS NULL THEN\n INSERT INTO `_revision_request_node` (`_revision_comment`, `_revision_user_id`, `_revision_timestamp`) VALUES (NEW.`_revision_comment`, @auth_uid, NOW());\n\t SET NEW.`_revision` = LAST_INSERT_ID(); \n ELSE\n SET `var-_revision`=NEW.`_revision`;\n OPEN revisionCursor;\n FETCH revisionCursor INTO `var-request_node_id`, `var-is_active`, `var-sequence`, `var-parent_node_id`, `var-type`, `var-content_manager_id`, `var-created`, `var-modified`, `var-request_template_id`, `var-request_folder_id`;\n CLOSE revisionCursor;\n \n SET NEW.`request_node_id` = `var-request_node_id`, NEW.`is_active` = `var-is_active`, NEW.`sequence` = `var-sequence`, NEW.`parent_node_id` = `var-parent_node_id`, NEW.`type` = `var-type`, NEW.`content_manager_id` = `var-content_manager_id`, NEW.`created` = `var-created`, NEW.`modified` = `var-modified`, NEW.`request_template_id` = `var-request_template_id`, NEW.`request_folder_id` = `var-request_folder_id`;\n END IF;\n \n SET NEW.`_revision_comment` = NULL;\n END;$$\n"
if I print the string, of course, newlines are shown as newlines:
>>> print sql
DELIMITER $$

END IF;
SET NEW.`_revision_comment` = NULL;
END;$$
But when I execute this, it's not working. The error is very generic but I suspect is being caused by the embedded newlines:
>>> cursor.execute(sql)
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-universal/egg/MySQLdb/cursors.py", line 174, in execute

I know the syntax of the trigger definition is correct.
Any ideas how to pass the string to cursor.execute() so that newlines are expanded as newlines and not as \n inside the string?
Thanks for any insight you can give me.
