How to the store a column from a SQL request into a variable?

I want to put the result of each column of the result of my request and store them into separate variables, so I can exploit its results.
I precise this is with a SELECt * and not separate requests.
So, If I do for example:
with connection.cursor() as cursor:
# Read a single record
sql = 'SELECT * FROM table'
cursor.execute(sql)
result = cursor.fetchall()
print(result)
I want to do :
a = [results from column1]
b = [results from column2]
The results should be turned into a row and not be left as a column, to make it a dictionary.
It's probably very simple but I'm new with Python / SQL, thank you.

Python MySQL search entire database for value

I have a GUI interacting with my database, and MySQL database has around 50 tables. I need to search each table for a value and return the field and key of the item in each table if it is found. I would like to search for partial matches. ex.( Search Value = "test", "Protest", "Test123" would be matches. Here is my attempt.
def searchdatabase(self, event):
print('Searching...')
self.connect_mysql() #Function to connect to database
d_tables = []
results_list = [] # I will store results here
s_string = "test" #Value I am searching
self.cursor.execute("USE db") # select the database
self.cursor.execute("SHOW TABLES")
for (table_name,) in self.cursor:
d_tables.append(table_name)
#Loop through tables list, get column name, and check if value is in the column
for table in d_tables:
#Get the columns
self.cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM `{table}` WHERE 1=0")
field_names = [i[0] for i in self.cursor.description]
#Find Value
for f_name in field_names:
print("RESULTS:", self.cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM `{table}` WHERE {f_name} LIKE {s_string}"))
print(table)
I get an error on print("RESULTS:", self.cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM `{table}` WHERE {f_name} LIKE {s_string}"))
Exception: (1054, "Unknown column 'test' in 'where clause'")
I use a similar insert query that works fine so I am not understanding what the issue is.
ex. insert_query = (f"INSERT INTO `{source_tbl}` ({query_columns}) VALUES ({query_placeholders})")

May be because of single quote you have missed while checking for some columns.
TRY :
print("RESULTS:", self.cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM `{table}` WHERE '{f_name}' LIKE '{s_string}'"))
Have a look -> here

Don’t insert user-provided data into SQL queries like this. It is begging for SQL injection attacks. Your database library will have a way of sending parameters to queries. Use that.
The whole design is fishy. Normally, there should be no need to look for a string across several columns of 50 different tables. Admittedly, sometimes you end up in these situations because of reasons outside your control.

Alter query according to user selection in sqlite python

I have a sqlite database named StudentDB which has 3 columns Roll number, Name, Marks. Now I want to fetch only the columns that user selects in the IDE. User can select one column or two or all the three. How can I alter the query accordingly using Python?
I tried:
import sqlite3
sel={"Roll Number":12}
query = 'select * from StudentDB Where({seq})'.format(seq=','.join(['?']*len(sel))),[i for k,i in sel.items()]
con = sqlite3.connect(database)
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute(query)
all_data = cur.fetchall()
all_data
I am getting:
operation parameter must be str

You should control the text of the query. The where clause shall allways be in the form WHERE colname=value [AND colname2=...] or (better) WHERE colname=? [AND ...] if you want to build a parameterized query.
So you want:
query = 'select * from StudentDB Where ' + ' AND '.join('"{}"=?'.format(col)
for col in sel.keys())
...
cur.execute(query, tuple(sel.values()))

In your code, the query is now a tuple instead of str and that is why the error.
I assume you want to execute a query like below -
select * from StudentDB Where "Roll number"=?
Then you can change the sql query like this (assuming you want and and not or) -
query = "select * from StudentDB Where {seq}".format(seq=" and ".join('"{}"=?'.format(k) for k in sel.keys()))
and execute the query like -
cur.execute(query, tuple(sel.values()))
Please make sure in your code the provided database is defined and contains the database name and studentDB is indeed the table name and not database name.

Using format in two queries in sql

I have a query I use except.I want to send the table path in format when running the select query.
query_2="""select *
from {}.{}
where date(etl_date) = current_date
except select *
from {}_test.{}
where date(etl_date)=current_date"""
.format(liste[0],liste[1])
But naturally I get an error like this.
IndexError: tuple index out of range
How else can I use the format function here? Thanks...

Do not use simple format for SQL queries; use sql.Identifier for tables, fields and use the second argument of the execute method to pass variables (if needed).
from psycopg2.sql import Identifier, SQL
connection = psycopg2.connect("...")
cursor = connection.cursor()
suffix = "_test"
identifiers = [Identifier("some_schema"), Identifier("some_table"), Identifier("other_schema%s" % suffix), Identifier("other_table")]
query_2 = SQL("""select * from {}.{} where date(etl_date) = current_date
except select * from {}.{} where date(etl_date)=current_date""").format(*identifiers)
print(query_2.as_string(cursor)) # if you want to see the final query
cursor.execute(query_2)
Output
select * from "some_schema"."some_table" where date(etl_date) = current_date
except select * from "other_schema_test"."other_table" where date(etl_date)=current_date
This assumes you have multiple schemas in the same database as you can't easily do cross database queries in PostgreSQL.

I want to create functions that take as parameter tables mysql

I want to create functions that takes as parametre tables mysql
the code works when I put the table name in the select. However, I wanted to use the function by putting the name of the SQL table as a parameter but as I did the AC not working
def max_index (con,tableau) :
con.execute("SELECT max(indexes) FROM table_name%s",(tableau))
max_id = con.fetchone()[0]
return max_id
def recupere_espece(cursor,maxid,tab2):
cursor.execute("""SELECT espece FROM tab2 WHERE indexes=%s""", (maxid,))
es=cursor.fetchone()[0]
es.split()
return int(es[2])
