Using replacements with a raw Sequelize query: avoiding single quotes?

Question

Using replacements with a raw Sequelize query: avoiding single quotes?

This probably has a really easy answer but I'm not seeing it.

I want to do a raw query using Sequelize:

var sequelize = require('sequelize');
sequelize
   .query("LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE :file
           INTO TABLE :table
           FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';",
          null,
          {raw:true},
          {file: datasetPath, table: "dataset_" + datasetName})

The issue is that the replacement string includes single quotes for both the :file replacement (which is good because it's a path) and the :table replacement (which is bad because it's just supposed to be an unadorned table name, and breaks the query). How do I avoid those quotes in the case of the table name replacement?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I do not think you can have replacement for the table name.

Answer 2

If you're sure that datasetName will never contain any possibility of SQL injections, you can directly insert the table name into the query, like so:

sequelize
   .query("LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE :file
           INTO TABLE dataset_" + datasetName + "
           FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';",
          null,
          {raw:true}, {file: datasetPath})

The comment posted by mwarren doesn't really really work in this case - Sequelize is seeing that it is a string being inserted, and accordingly escapes it.
