formating dot commands in sqlite3

My first SQL database Im using sqlite3 in idle on linux. Everything is working fine but I want my table to display in an easier to read format in the terminal. Been reading about dot commands eg .mode column or .headers on but not sure were to put it in my code, I think this is the closest:
def veiw_outstanding_job():
cursorObj = con.cursor()
cursorObj.execute('.mode column\nSELECT * FROM '+ VesselName + ' WHERE State = "outstanding" ')
rows = cursorObj.fetchall()
for row in rows:
print(row)
menu()
but i get this error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/idlelib/run.py", line 559, in runcode

hi~ I want to access pgsql through psycopg2, but an error is reported.I use the same command and have no problem in the pgsql.

"not a query" exception while executing query using cx_Oracle in python

I am trying to connect to oracle database and execute a query using cx_Oracle in python with following code
import cx_Oracle
mobileNumber='1234567890'
dbHost='some_value'
dbPortNumber='some_value'
dbUsername='some_value'
dbPasswd='some_value'
dsn_tns = cx_Oracle.makedsn(dbHost, dbPortNumber, service_name='ORCL')
conn = cx_Oracle.connect(user=dbUsername, password=dbPasswd, dsn=dsn_tns)
cur=conn.cursor()
query='insert into table_name values ((select max(ID)+1 from table_name),"sms","'+ mobileNumber + '")'
cur.execute(query)
res=cur.fetchall()
print (res)
But I am getting following exception when running this code
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "script.py", line 16, in <module>
result=cur.fetchall()
cx_Oracle.InterfaceError: not a query
When printing the value of variable query I am getting following
insert into table_name values ((select max(ID)+1 from table_name),"sms","1234567890")

How to execute database insert do MariaDB using Python?

I have a problem inserting data into my database table. I'm using Python and MariaDB. Connection to database is open and tested, I'm able to query the database, but I can't nail the insert syntax. I've found two ways, but neither work.
insert = (
"INSERT INTO ksiazka (ISBN, tytul, autor, rok_wydania, ilosc stron)"
"VALUES (%s,%s,%s,%s,%s)"
)
dane = (ISBN, tytul, autor, rok_wydania, ilosc_stron)
cursor.execute(insert, dane)
or this way:
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO ksiazka (ISBN, tytul, autor, rok_wydania, ilosc stron) VALUES (%s,%s,%s,%s,%s)", (ISBN, tytul, autor, rok_wydania, ilosc_stron))
When executing I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File

If your column name has a space in it, then it needs special handling and you must escape it:
INSERT INTO ksiazka (ISBN, tytul, autor, rok_wydania, `ilosc stron`) ...
This is why spaces in column names are annoying and should be avoided.

Why am I getting "FROM expression expected" from SQLAlchemy when I'm trying to update a row in a table?

I'm trying update a row in a table but I'm getting an Argument Error.
Here is the code:
inventory_host = InventoryHost(ipv4_addr=ipv4, ipv6_addr=ipv6, macaddr=mac, host_name=name)
try:
session.add(inventory_host)
session.commit()
except sqlalchemy.exc.IntegrityError:
session.execute(update(inventory_host))
session.commit()
session.close()
This is the error I'm getting:
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The session.add(inventory_host) works for new hosts in the inventory_host table, but as soon as I try and update the row using session.execute(update(inventory_host)) I get the error.

update takes a table name as its first arg, not an instance of your table class. What value(s) do you want to update? If you wanted to update the host_name, for example, you might do this instead:
from sqlalchemy import update
# Ideally, just use your primary key(s) in your where clause; I'm not sure what they are
stmt = (update(InventoryHost).where(ipv4_addr=ipv4, ipv6_addr=ipv6, macaddr=mac)
.values(host_name=name) # updates the host_name, for example
session.execute(stmt)
...
