I am trying to use Python to insert into MySQL database, but I have an auto-increment column (TeamID). I am using the lines below and it works like a charm. BUT I would like to not specify the TeamID in my Python script as it is an auto-increment
try:
cur.execute ("INSERT INTO teams values (%d, '%s', %d, '%s')" % (11,"Sevilla", 7, "Jorge Sampaoli"))
db.commit()
this works perfectly
How can I get rid of the first %d and 11 please? I want this value to be added automatically via the script
any help is very much appreciated
EDIT:
#!/usr/bin/python
import MySQLdb
db = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", # your host, usually localhost
user="username", # your username
passwd="password", # your password
db="dbname") # name of the data base
cur = db.cursor()
try:
cur.execute ("INSERT INTO teams values ('%s', %d, '%s')" % ("Sevilla", 7, "Jorge Sampaoli"))
db.commit()
except Exception as e:
print("Rolling back")
print(e)
db.rollback()
db.close()
解决方案
Issue is now resolved
I did specify the column names but didn't notice I need to use %s for all columns including int values. As below:
cur.execute("INSERT INTO teams (TeamName, CountryID, TeamManager) values (%s,%s,%s)", ('Everton', 1, 'Ronald Koeman'))
