I have been trying to insert data into the database using the following code in python:
import sqlite3 as db
conn = db.connect('insertlinks.db')
cursor = conn.cursor()
db.autocommit(True)
a="asd"
b="adasd"
cursor.execute("Insert into links (link,id) values (?,?)",(a,b))
conn.close()
The code runs without any errors. But no updation to the database takes place. I tried adding the conn.commit() but it gives an error saying module not found. Please help?
You do have to commit after inserting:
cursor.execute("Insert into links (link,id) values (?,?)",(a,b))
conn.commit()
or use the connection as a context manager:
with conn:
cursor.execute("Insert into links (link,id) values (?,?)", (a, b))
or set autocommit correctly by setting the isolation_level keyword parameter to the connect() method to None:
conn = db.connect('insertlinks.db', isolation_level=None)
__exit__ call commit? Is this part of the DB-API spec?
__exit__ method calls commit(). This is an extension, there were no context managers when the API was written, see Is __enter__ and __exit__ behaviour for connection objects specified in the Python database API?It can be a bit late but set the autocommit = true save my time! especially if you have a script to run some bulk action as update/insert/delete...
Reference: https://docs.python.org/2/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.Connection.isolation_level
it is the way I usually have in my scripts:
def get_connection():
conn = sqlite3.connect('../db.sqlite3', isolation_level=None)
cursor = conn.cursor()
return conn, cursor
def get_jobs():
conn, cursor = get_connection()
if conn is None:
raise DatabaseError("Could not get connection")
I hope it helps you!
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'autocommit'. There is no such method on thesqlite3module, setting autocommit would work quite differently.
