Question

I can’t insert data into sqlite table.
Here is my code:

import sqlite3
connection = sqlite3.connect('mydata.db')
cursor = connection.cursor()
a=raw_input('name')
a=str(a)
b=raw_input('theme')
b=str(b)
c=raw_input('language')
c=str(c)
sql="INSERT INTO Website (Website, Theme, Language) VALUES (%, %, %)",(a,b,c)
cursor.execute(sql)
connection.commit()
connection.close()

For some reason it doesn’t work.

Answer 1

• the extended call syntax is f(*args):

  cursor.execute(*sql)
  

• sqlite uses '?' placeholder:

  conn.execute('insert into sometable values (?,?,?)', (a,b,c))
  

• raw_input() already returns a string. a = str(a) is unnecessary
