sql should be:

sql = "UPDATE tablename SET Rate = (%s) WHERE Name='xxx'"

and then you should do:

cursor.execute(sql,(k,))

note that k needs to be in a container to be passed correctly to .execute(). in this case it is a tuple.

also int(4000) is redundant. you can just do: k = 4000

if you also want to pass in the name you can do:

sql = "UPDATE tablename SET Rate = (%s) WHERE Name=(%s)"

and then:

cursor.execute(sql,(k,name))

What about numeric data, %g. %s would go for string I guess. Documentation pls. Thanks.
@ankit7540: all data types use %s; that's just how the library works.
