Question

I’m getting the sqlite3.OperationalError: no such colum: bla error.

I have a sqlite file, which only consists of one table foo with column bar.

connection = lite.connect(db.sqlite)
def insertEvent(self, bar):            
    with connection:                                                          
        cur = connection.cursor()                                               
        cur.execute("INSERT INTO foo(bar) VALUES (bar);")

insertEvent("bla")     

Is my syntax wrong or why am I getting the error? I couldn’t find any useful solutions in all the other questions.

Just in case: I’m using the sqlite3 library.

Answer 1

Try changing the insert statement to

cur.execute("INSERT INTO foo(bar) VALUES (?);", (bar,))

You aren’t using the bar parameter in the insert statement.
