title: User input variables in cx_Oracle?
body: <p>I'm using cx_Oracle to access our database.  I would like the user to be able to input the station ID, for example:</p>
  
  <p>stationID=(whatever the user inputs upon prompting)</p>
  
  <pre><code>cursor.execute('''select cruise, station, stratum
            from union_fscs_svsta
            where station=stationID
            order by cruise''')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Because the statement needs to be a string, how do I incorporate a user-defined variable? </p>
