It probably depends on the underlying DB, but most DB
interfaces I know of don't allow such a thing.

My biggest gripe about the DB-API is that you have
to use one of about five different ways of marking
parameters *depending on the DB*. Which kind of
defeats the purpose of having a DB-independent API
in the first place...
