Public bug reported:

In anewt.cxs AutoRecord tries to take over the role of SqlTemplate and
fill column names and data values itself. Unfortunately the underlying
database layer doesn't handle this case, it requires proper
prepare()/execute() sequences.

AutoRecord currently can't handle any datavalue containing the string
?foo?. It feeds ?foo? to prepare() which tries to interpret foo as an
SQL data type.

I have created a simple (but IMHO wrong) patch which solves the problem
by creating an extra parameter to prepare() which disables all
preprocessing enabling you to execute raw queries through the database
layer.

A better fix would be to rewrite AutoRecord to build proper sql
templates which can be parsed by prepare().
