Sorry, that should have read:
<tal:x replace="options/sql.string:x"/>

...so you know for definite where x is coming from.

Why? ;-)

The following looks fine to me:

"""
insert into RequestPositionMap(OrganisationPositionID,
                                EvaluationRequestID,
                                Status)
values (<tal:x replace="options/sql.string:x"/>)
"""

...and, in fact, already works, bar the use of sql.string:

cheers,
