E.g. After launching the program:
It is in interactive mode
We are asked what name we want to create the database with;
After creating the database, the program asks us under what name to create the table in the database;
In the next step, the program asks us how many columns the table should have;
Enter the names of the mentioned number of columns and their types interactively;
Finally, create a database and a table with the columns indicated in it;
import sqlite3
connection = sqlite3.connect(input("Enter the name for base: "))
cursor = connection.cursor()
table_name = input("Enter the name for table: ")
columns_name = []
columns_amount = int(input("Enter amount of coulms and name them: "))
for item in range(columns_amount):
item = input("input theme mane of column: ")
columns_name.append(item)
cursor.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS "+table_name+"" )
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "+ table_name +" ("+columns_name[0]+" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT ,Name TEXT, "+columns_name[1]+" TEXT, "+columns_name[2]+" TEXT, "+columns_name[3]+" TEXT )")
connection.commit()
You can just create the sql string for table creation inside the loop like -
import sqlite3
connection = sqlite3.connect(input("Enter the name for database: "))
cursor = connection.cursor()
table_name = input("Enter the name for table: ")
sql_string = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS {} (".format(table_name)
columns_amount = int(input("Enter amount of columns: "))
for i in range(columns_amount):
column = input("input the name of column {}: ".format(i + 1))
datatype = input("input the type of column: ")
# You may want to check here whether column name and data type is valid or not
sql_string += "{} {},".format(column, datatype)
# remove the last extra comma
sql_string = sql_string[:-1]
sql_string += ")"
print(sql_string)
cursor.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS {}".format(table_name))
# Finally create the table
cursor.execute(sql_string)
connection.commit()
Your code will not work because during table creation you are assuming that there are 3 columns which may not be true. So accessing those indices of columns_name might throw exception.
I need to write the nested dictionaries in the newly created SQL Table.
I think I have made some mistake in creating new table in SQL by mentioning its column also. Could anyone please review the code & tell me whether this step is correct or not.
db = conn.connect(
host ="Localhost",
user ="root",
passwd ="admin",
database = "EMPLOYEE_DETAILS_00"
)
cursor = db.cursor()
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Details ( User_ID VARCHAR(255), Name VARCHAR(255), Age VARCHAR(255) ) ")
I need to write a nested Python dictionary into a SQL table. I'm trying to do it by using a for loop.
This is the code I'm trying to run:
user_details = {}
create_user_ID = input(" Enter the user ID : ")
user_details[create_user_ID] = {}
user_name = input(" Enter the user name : ")
user_details[create_user_ID]['Name'] = user_name
user_age = int(input(" Enter the Age : "))
user_details[create_user_ID]['Age'] = user_age
for v in user_details.values():
cols = v.keys()
vals = v.values()
sql = "INSERT INTO Details ({}) VALUES ({})".format(
', '.join(cols),
', '.join(['%s'] * len(cols)));
cursor.execute(sql, vals)
If I run this code I'm getting the following error
Error : Couldn't process parameters
Could anyone please review the code and tell me where I've made the mistake, whether in creating SQL Table or in FOR Loop.
Thanks in advance !!
I think issue is when you try to create sql query inside the loop.try this one
sql = "INSERT INTO Details {}) VALUES ({})".format(
', '.join(cols),
', '.join(map(str,vals)));
My Python code uses pyodbc to connect to a database and then asks the user for input which I would like to format the 'where' clause in an SQL statement but the where clause requires single quotation marks on my user input to function.
Every time I have tried to format the input to include single quotation mark it doesn't seem work and returns back no rows.
Here is what I am trying to achieve
"select FirstName, LastName from person.person where FirstName = 'Kim'"
where 'Kim' should be the user input.
here in my code section.
user_first_name = print(input("Enter the first name you are looking
for: "))
cursor.execute("select FirstName, LastName from person.person where
FirstName = ?", (user_first_name))
how do I format the input (user_first_name) so that the parameter has the single quotes in the query field.
import pyodbc
cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=DESKTOP-3NLISNE\SQLNEW;DATABASE=TestDB;UID=python;PWD=password')
cursor = cnxn.cursor()
user_first_name = print(input("Enter the first name you are looking for:"))
query = "select FirstName, LastName from person.person where FirstName = ?"
result = cursor.execute(query, (user_first_name,))
rows = result.fetchall()
print (rows)
I have normalised three tables (Product, ProductType and ProductGender) and I'm looking to call them in my main program so that the user can successfully enter values and the data be stored in the correct table.
Here are the SQL tables being created
def create_product_table():
sql = """create table Product
(ProductID integer,
Name text,
primary key(ProductID))"""
create_table(db_name, "Product", sql)
def create_product_type_table():
sql = """create table ProductType
(ProductID integer,
Colour text,
Size text,
Gender text,
AmountInStock integer,
Source text,
primary key(ProductID, Colour, Size, Gender)
foreign key(Gender) references ProductGender(Gender)
foreign key(ProductID) references Product(ProductID))"""
create_table(db_name, "ProductType", sql)
def create_product_gender_table():
sql = """create table ProductGender
(Gender text,
Price text,
primary key(Gender))"""
create_table(db_name, "ProductGender", sql)
Here are the SQL subroutines
def insert_data(values):
with sqlite3.connect("jam_stock.db") as db:
cursor = db.cursor()
sql = "insert into Product (Name, ProductID) values (?,?)"
cursor.execute(sql,values)
db.commit()
def insert_product_type_data(records):
sql = "insert into ProductType(Amount, Size, Colour, Source) values (?,?,?,?)"
for record in records:
query(sql,record)
def insert_product_gender_data(records):
sql = "insert into ProductGender(Gender, Price) values (?,?)"
for record in records:
query(sql, records)
def query(sql,data): #important
with sqlite3.connect("jam_stock.db") as db:
cursor = db.cursor()
cursor.execute("PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON") #referential integrity
cursor.execute(sql,data)
db.commit()
Below is the code where the user will enter the values.
if ans=="1": #1=to option 'Add Stock'
a = input("Enter Gender: ")
b = float(input("Enter Price: "))
c = int(input("Enter ProductID: "))
d = input("Enter Name: ")
e = input("Enter Size: ")
f = input("Enter Colour: ")
g = input("Enter Source: ")
h = input("Enter Amount: ")
#code calling tables should be here
Help is gratefully appreciated. Seriously not sure how to link the 3 tables with the user's input.
This is what I did before I normalised the database. So the one table in 'Product' would be updated instead of adding an already existing product. Obviously that has changed now, since I've created two new tables but I can't successfully add a product let alone edit one.
def update_product(data): #subroutine for editing stock
with sqlite3.connect("jam_stock.db") as db:
cursor = db.cursor()
sql = "update Product set Name=?, Price=?, Amount=?, Size=?, Colour=?, Source=?, Gender=? where ProductID=?"
cursor.execute(sql,data)
db.commit()
Given the code you show above, and assuming (BIG assumption, see later!) that the user never enters data for existing records, the following code should do it:
query('insert into Product (Name, ProductID) values (?,?)',
[d, c])
query('insert into ProductGender (Gender, Price) values (?,?)',
[a, b])
query('insert into ProductType (ProductID, Colour, Size, Gender, '
AmountInStock, Source) values (?,?,?,?,?,?)',
[c, f, e, a, h, g])
Your use of arbitrary single-letter variable names makes this very hard to follow, of course, but I think I got the correspondence right:-).
Much more important is the problem that you never tell us what to do if the user enters data for an already existing record in one or more of the three tables (as determined by the respective primary keys).
For example, what if Product already has a record with a ProductID of foobar and a Name of Charlemagne; and the user enters ProductID as foobar and a Name of Alexandre; what do you want to happen in this case? You never tell us!
The code I present above will just fail the whole sequence because of the attempt to insert a new record in Product with an already-existing primary key; if you don't catch the exception and print an error message this will in fact crash your whole program.
But maybe you want to do something completely different in such cases -- and there are so many possibilities that we can't just blindly guess!
So please edit your Q to clarify in minute detail what's supposed to happen in each case of primary key "duplication" in one or more table (unless you're fine with just crashing in such cases!-), and the SQL and Python code to make exactly-that happen will follow. But of course we can't decide what the semantics of your program are meant to be...!-)
New to Python and Databases
I have a database table set up with a column of usernames. I want the user to be able to search through the table via a raw_input and only return the values which are associated with that user name.
E.g. user searches for Bill and it only displays Bill's records ordered by a specified column
This is what I have so far but its obviously VERY wrong, hope someone can help:
def find_me(db, column_name):
db = sqlite3.connect(db)
cursor = db.cursor()
name = raw_input("Please enter your username: ")
cursor.execute("SELECT name FROM username WHERE name=?", (name,))
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM username ORDER BY "+column_name+" ASC")
name = cursor.fetchone()
next = cursor.fetchone()
Thank you in advance
You want to make the query similar to the following:
cursor.execute("SELECT name FROM username WHERE name=?", (name,))
This uses query parameters, so it's correctly escaped for the data provided. Then just adapt this to SELECT * and whatever else you want from the result.
Try working with this:
name = raw_input("Please enter your username: ")
query = "SELECT * FROM username WHERE name=? ORDER BY {0}".format(column_name)
cursor.execute(query, (name,))
for row in cursor:
print row
