Description

Bit of an odd one here, and probably comes down to a matter of opinion.

migrations.RunSQL not taking any params= argument seems to imply that it doesn't do any parameter substitution on the supplied SQL, which would mean that "%"s can be used freely in the SQL.

This of course isn't the case and doing 

    migrations.RunSQL("UPDATE city_table SET description = 'silly' WHERE name ILIKE '%camelot%'")

will screw up because psycopg2 will be confused about the "%"s.

Either RunSQL should accept params= and this should be documented or RunSQL should attempt to nullify this by doing something like .replace ( "%" , "%%" ) to the SQL string.
