I don't understand how

  TagToSQL[mySQLfieldname] = Tagfile[Value]

fails to meet requirements that

  mycode = "TagToSQL['mySQLfieldname'] = Tagfile['Value']"
  exec mycode

satisfies.  

This thread confuses me.  Maybe you already have all the answers
you seek.  If not, I recommend that you simplify--perhaps work
through a single example datum in detail.  In the meantime, I
applaud your judgment that you can achieve what you're after with
table lookups and such rather than the thousand-way if-else at
which you hinted at least once.
