How to create a table in psql database using python?

I am running this script and want to create a table by passing values in psql query using variables. So, that I can create multiple table in one go. But this cur.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS(%s, %s)",[table_name, comp_schema]) line is throwing error. How can I write this query to create a table with the given schema?
import psycopg2
conn = psycopg2.connect(database="review_check", user = "xxx", password = "xxx",)
cur = conn.cursor()
print ("Opened database successfully")
comp_schema = """
as_of_date DATE PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
verified_reviews INTEGER,
lsa_total_reviews INTEGER
"""
table_name = 'comp_first'
cur.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS(%s, %s)",[table_name, comp_schema])
conn.commit()
conn.close()

Use the psycopg2.sql module to compose a query dynamically. see https://www.psycopg.org/docs/sql.html.

There's a couple of errors here, in both the SQL syntax and the Python:
cur.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS(%s, %s)",[table_name, comp_schema])
should be
cur.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS %s (%s)"%(table_name, comp_schema))
It might be easier during development to build the query in a separate variable first, then print it to see if it looks right:
test = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS %s (%s)"%(table_name, comp_schema)
print(test)
>>CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS comp_first (
as_of_date DATE PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
verified_reviews INTEGER,
lsa_total_reviews INTEGER
)

DB browser for sqlite does not work

I write a python code to create a table,but when I open DB browser for SQLite, it does not the table I have created, I am new to database, so can anyone tell me what is wrong with it ? Many thanks!
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('test1.sqlite')
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute('''
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Test''')
cur.execute('''
CREATE TABLE Test (azaz TEXT, count INTEGER)''')
cur.execute('''INSERT INTO Test (azaz, count)
VALUES ( 'aa', 1 )''' )
conn.commit()
conn.close()

Your code is right and if you try:
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('test1.sqlite')
row = conn.execute('SELECT * FROM Test').fetchone()
print("azaz=", row[0])
print("count=", row[1])
You will see this output:
('azaz=', u'aa')
('count=', 1)
So the table has been created and values has been inserted in the table.

I have just tested your code and it works flawlessly. I have used python-3.5 and DB Broswer for sqlite, tested on window 7 pro.

Exporting data from Entry widgets into SQL code

So I found this really useful piece of code earlier that created entry boxes and when they were created I could edit what was inside of them. The data that was loaded in was taken from an SQL table. Once I have made edits to the entry boxes, I want to submit the data to overwrite the data that had previously been in that sql record, as it it was being edited. The code I found was this:
for item in selectedetails:
entry = Entry(top2)
entry.insert(0, item)
entry.pack()
entries.append(entry)
I want it to be able to enter an sql code. I have tried this but it doesn't work. I think I am doing it wrong.
def submitedit():
for entry in entries:
print(entry.get())
db = sqlite3.connect('TestFile')
cursor = db.cursor()
cursor.execute('''UPDATE Table SET ID=?, Name=?, Desc=? WHERE ID=?''',
("?"," ?"," ?").format(entry.get()))
cursor.close()
db.commit()
db.close()
I have also tried this:
db = sqlite3.connect('TestFile')
cursor = db.cursor()
cursor.execute('''UPDATE Table SET ID=?, Name=?, Desc=? WHERE ID=?''',
(entry.get())
cursor.close()
db.commit()
db.close()
Thanks.

with sqlite3.connect('TestFile') as db:
cursor = db.cursor()
cursor.row_factory = sqlite3.Row
sql = "UPDATE Table Name=?, Desc=? WHERE ID=?"
cursor.execute(sql,(Name,Descr))
db.commit()
Note that the order that you put your values in cursor.execute line must match up to the order used in sql variable, otherwise the wrong values will be used at the wrong time. Also i have taken out set ID due to that being what you are searching off which im guessing is your primary key, in databases you should not edit the primary key. The primary key should be auto incremented as well.

Why doesn't the record get saved in sqlite3?

I am using sqlite for the first time. I used Xammp before. Now I have a scene here. Each time I run the code below, records don't just get appended at the end of the table rather the table is created new and thus it's working just like a console.
Can any one tell me what I am doing wrong here?
import sqlite3
db = sqlite3.connect('test.db')
db.row_factory = sqlite3.Row
db.execute('drop table if exists test')
db.execute('create table test (t1 text,i1 text)')
db.execute('insert into test (t1, i1) values (?, ?)',('xyzs','51'))
cursor = db.execute('select * from test')
for row in cursor:
print(row['t1'],row['i1'])

First, you need to execute commands on a cursor and not the connection itself. Second, you need to commit your transactions:
import sqlite3
db = sqlite3.connect('test.db')
db.row_factory = sqlite3.Row
cur = db.cursor() # getting a cursor
cur.execute('drop table if exists test')
cur.execute('create table test (t1 text,i1 text)')
db.commit() # commit the transaction, note commits are done
# at the connection, not on the cursor
cur.execute('insert into test (t1, i1) values (?, ?)',('xyzs','51'))
db.commit()
cursor = cur.execute('select * from test')
for row in cursor:
print(row['t1'],row['i1'])
Please have a look at the documentation. This will help you once you start working with other databases in Python because they all follow the same API.

This line drops the old table:
db.execute('drop table if exists test')
And this one creates a new table:
db.execute('create table test (t1 text,i1 text)')
That should explain your problem. Remove these two lines and you'll be fine - But create the table first separately.

Python write to MySQL - no error but no writing

I am trying to write into my localhost MySQL database.
I have created a database named "test", a table called "price_update" and a row called "model"
When I run the script below I get no errors, however, I also get nothing written to my database.
I am not sure where to start looking for the problem. the row is varchar(10) and collation utf9_general_ci.
import MySQLdb
conn = MySQLdb.connect(host="127.0.0.1",user="someUser",passwd="somePassword",db="test")
query = "INSERT INTO price_update (model) values ('12345')"
x = conn.cursor()
x.execute(query)
row = x.fetchall()

You have to commit the changes:
conn.commit()
Also, I'd make your query safer:
query = "INSERT INTO price_update (model) values (%s)"
...
x.execute(query, ('12345',))
