Question

I have a table that has 4 attributes.

    +--------------+--------------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+
| Field        | Type         | Null | Key | Default           | Extra          |
+--------------+--------------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+
| id           | int(11)      | NO   | PRI | NULL              | auto_increment |
| url          | varchar(255) | YES  |     | NULL              |                |
| mail         | varchar(255) | YES  |     | NULL              |                |
| date_entered | timestamp    | NO   |     | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP |                |
| active       | tinyint(1)   | NO   |     | 1                 |                |
+--------------+--------------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+

Now i want to insert only the data_entered and other attributes to get default values.
I’m doing it for the id field which I need to be exact to another id I insereted to different table.

this is the code:

        tx.execute(\
            "insert into company_career (date_entered) "
            "values (%s)",
            (time.time())
        )

This is the error:

        query = query % db.literal(args)
    exceptions.TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

How to fix it?
