The extra function on query_set give an error when using it with "params" (using Oracle 9i, cx_Oracle 5.0.2).
MyModel.objects.extra(where=["DESCRIPTION like '%s'"], params=["something"])
throws:
DatabaseError: ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number
Note: the following works
MyModel.objects.extra(where=["DESCRIPTION like 'something'"])

Don't attempt to do your own quoting in the where clause when you are supplying parameters. That is, remove the quotes around
'%s'; the backend will handle quoting and any escaping necessary for the parameters you pass. See: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/querysets/#extra-select-none-where-none-params-none-tables-none-order-by-none-select-params-none
