I think I am being a bonehead, maybe not importing the right package, but when I do…

 from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite import types import re import sys ...     def create_asgn(self):         stmt = 'CREATE TABLE ? (login CHAR(8) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, grade INTEGER NOT NULL)'         stmt2 = 'insert into asgn values ('?', ?)'         self.cursor.execute(stmt, (sys.argv[2],))         self.cursor.execute(stmt2, [sys.argv[2], sys.argv[3]]) ...  I get the error pysqlite2.dbapi2.OperationalError: near '?': syntax error

This makes very little sense to me, as the docs show that pysqlite is qmark parametrized. I am new to python and db-api though, help me out! THANKS

  1. That’s because parameters can only be passed to VALUES. The table name can’t be parametrized.

    Also you have quotes around a parametrized argument on the second query. Remove the quotes, escaping is handled by the underlining library automatically for you.
