我使用递归函数来构建复杂的SQL查询。此技术通常可用于构建大型字符串，同时保持代码可读性。

# Utility function to recursively resolve SQL statements.
# CAUTION: Use this function carefully, Pass correct SQL parameters {},
# TODO: This should never happen but check for infinite loops
def resolveSQL(sql_seed, sqlparams):
    sql = sql_seed % (sqlparams)
    if sql == sql_seed:
        return ' '.join([x.strip() for x in sql.split()])
    else:
        return resolveSQL(sql, sqlparams)

P.S.：看看很棒的python-sqlparse库，如果需要，可以打印SQL查询。

您还可以将SQL语句放置在单独的文件action.SQL中，并使用以下命令将其加载到.py文件中：

with open('action.sql') as f:
   query = f.read()

因此，SQL语句将与Python代码分离。如果SQL语句中有需要从Python填充的参数，则可以使用字符串格式（如%s或｛field｝）。

用\换行对我很有用。下面是一个例子：

longStr = "This is a very long string " \
        "that I wrote to help somebody " \
        "who had a question about " \
        "writing long strings in Python"

为了在字典内定义长字符串，保留换行符但省略空格，我最终以如下常量定义字符串：

LONG_STRING = \
"""
This is a long sting
that contains newlines.
The newlines are important.
"""

my_dict = {
   'foo': 'bar',
   'string': LONG_STRING
}

我发现自己对这个很满意：

string = """This is a
very long string,
containing commas,
that I split up
for readability""".replace('\n',' ')

根据我的格式建议，您可以将查询写成：

query = ('SELECT'
             ' action.descr as "action"'
             ',role.id as role_id'
             ',role.descr as role'
         ' FROM'
             ' public.role_action_def'
             ',public.role'
             ',public.record_def'
             ',public.action'
         ' WHERE'
             ' role.id = role_action_def.role_id'
             ' AND'
             ' record_def.id = role_action_def.def_id'
             ' AND'
             ' action.id = role_action_def.action_id'
             ' AND'
             ' role_action_def.account_id = ?' # account_id
             ' AND'
             ' record_def.account_id = ?'      # account_id
             ' AND'
             ' def_id = ?'                     # def_id
         )

 vars = (account_id, account_id, def_id)     # A tuple of the query variables
 cursor.execute(query, vars)                 # Using Python's sqlite3 module

或类似：

vars = []
query = ('SELECT'
             ' action.descr as "action"'
             ',role.id as role_id'
             ',role.descr as role'
         ' FROM'
             ' public.role_action_def'
             ',public.role'
             ',public.record_def'
             ',public.action'
         ' WHERE'
             ' role.id = role_action_def.role_id'
             ' AND'
             ' record_def.id = role_action_def.def_id'
             ' AND'
             ' action.id = role_action_def.action_id'
             ' AND'
             ' role_action_def.account_id = '
                 vars.append(account_id) or '?'
             ' AND'
             ' record_def.account_id = '
                 vars.append(account_id) or '?'
             ' AND'
             ' def_id = '
                 vars.append(def_id) or '?'
         )

 cursor.execute(query, tuple(vars))  # Using Python's sqlite3 module

与“IN”和“vars.extend（options）”或“n_options（len（option））”一起使用可能很有趣，其中：

def n_options(count):
    return '(' + ','.join(count*'?') + ')'

或者从darkcaline那里得到的提示是，您可能仍然会在使用前导空格和分隔符以及命名占位符时出错：

SPACE_SEP = ' '
COMMA_SEP = ', '
AND_SEP   = ' AND '

query = SPACE_SEP.join((
    'SELECT',
        COMMA_SEP.join((
        'action.descr as "action"',
        'role.id as role_id',
        'role.descr as role',
        )),
    'FROM',
        COMMA_SEP.join((
        'public.role_action_def',
        'public.role',
        'public.record_def',
        'public.action',
        )),
    'WHERE',
        AND_SEP.join((
        'role.id = role_action_def.role_id',
        'record_def.id = role_action_def.def_id',
        'action.id = role_action_def.action_id',
        'role_action_def.account_id = :account_id',
        'record_def.account_id = :account_id',
        'def_id = :def_id',
        )),
    ))

vars = {'account_id':account_id,'def_id':def_id}  # A dictionary of the query variables
cursor.execute(query, vars)                       # Using Python's sqlite3 module
