My python application allows users to create schemas of their naming. I need a way to protect the application from sql injections.
The SQL to be executed reads
CREATE SCHEMA schema_name AUTHORIZATION user_name;
The psycopg documentation (generally) recommends passing parameters to execute like so
conn = psycopg2.connect("dbname=test user=postgres")
cur = conn.cursor()
query = 'CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS %s AUTHORIZATION %s;'
params = ('schema_name', 'user_name')
cur.execute(query, params)
But this results in a query with single quotes, which fails:
CREATE SCHEMA 'schema_name' AUTHORIZATION 'user_name';
> fail
Is there a way to remove the quotes, or should I just settle for stripping non-alphanumeric characters from the schema name and call it a day? The later seems kind of ugly, but should still work.
