pyodbc - cannot delete from MSSQL tables

Trying to delete some of the table entries by using pyodbc in database results in nothing happening. I know for sure that database connection is working as intended, can select data. Perhaps any suggestions what could be the cause?
get_user_id = conn.cursor()
get_user_id.execute('''
SELECT b.UserId
FROM Bindery b
INNER JOIN ActiveUser au
ON au.Id = b.UserId
WHERE au.UserId = ?
''', user_to_kick)
id_list = [id[0] for id in get_user_id.fetchall()]
delete_user = conn.cursor()
#delete from bindery first
delete_user.execute('''
DELETE FROM Bindery
WHERE UserId in (?)
''', id_list)
conn.commit
#delete from active user list
delete_user.execute('''
DELETE FROM ActiveUser
WHERE UserId = ?
''', user_to_kick)
conn.commit
delete_user.close()
conn.close
This is a code block that should imo trigger the delete query, but nothing happens. Select query does indeed get the data.
UPDATE:
After some adjustments and passing list as a parameter fixed, the delete query now indeed works as intended.
get_user_id = conn.cursor()
get_user_id.execute('''
SELECT b.UserId
FROM Bindery b
INNER JOIN ActiveUser au
ON au.Id = b.UserId
WHERE au.UserId = ?
''', user_to_kick)
id_list = [id[0] for id in get_user_id.fetchall()]
placeholders = ", ".join(["?"] * len(id_list))
sql = 'DELETE FROM Bindery\
WHERE UserId in (%s)' % placeholders
delete_user = conn.cursor()
#delete from bindery first
delete_user.execute(sql, id_list)
conn.commit()
#delete from active user list
delete_user.execute('''
DELETE FROM ActiveUser
WHERE UserId = ?
''', user_to_kick)
conn.commit()
get_user_id.close()
delete_user.close()
conn.close()

Mysql table name getting unwanted quotes resulting table does not exist error

import mysql.connector
def add_features_to_db(stockname, timeframe, date, feature):
try:
conn = mysql.connector.connect(
user='root', password='', host='localhost', database='fx003')
cursor = conn.cursor()
dbtable = stockname + timeframe
mySql_insert_query = """INSERT INTO `%s` (date, trend) VALUES ( `%s`, `%s` )"""
record = (dbtable, date, feature)
cursor.execute(mySql_insert_query, record)
conn.commit()
print("Record inserted successfully")
except mysql.connector.Error as error:
print("Failed to insert into MySQL table {}".format(error))
finally:
if conn.is_connected():
cursor.close()
conn.close()
print("MySQL connection is closed")
add_features_to_db("aud-cad", "_30mins", "2021-09-24 21:00:00", "Short")
I have the code above and giving me the below error:
Failed to insert into MySQL table 1146 (42S02): Table 'fx003.'aud-cad_30mins'' doesn't exist
aud-cad_30mins table does exist and an insert query like below doing its job:
mySql_insert_query = """INSERT INTO aud-cad_30mins (date, trend) VALUES ( "2021-09-24 21:00:00","Short" )"""
So when I try to use variables in the query, it gives the error. Why the table name getting unwanted quotes? Checked several tutorials but couldn't find a solution, any ideas?

The table name should be hardcoded in the query string instead of having it there as a placeholder %s, which is meant for the values to be inserted. So if you have the table name in the variable, you can replace it via format() before calling cursor.execute()
dbtable = stockname + timeframe
mySql_insert_query = """INSERT INTO {} (date, trend) VALUES ( %s, %s )""".format(dbtable)
see the examples in the docs
edit: as Bill mentioned in the comment, dont add the backticks around the %s placeholders.

Error when updating a database table with pymssql and a python dictionary

I am trying to write data in a dictionary back into a SQL Server database table with pymssql.
But I am getting this error:
ValueError: more placeholders in sql than params available
Here is my code:
cursor = conn.cursor()
for key in dictW:
x = dictW[key]
sql = 'UPDATE tablename SET col = %s WHERE %s = #url '
cursor.executemany(sql, (key, x))
conn.commit()
conn.close()
What am I doing wrong here?

You are attempting to execute your queries one by one but are using executemany(). You should consider using a simple execute() instead:
cursor = conn.cursor()
for key in dictW:
x = dictW[key]
sql = 'UPDATE tablename SET col = %s WHERE %s = #url '
cursor.execute(sql, (key, x))
conn.commit()
conn.close()
If you want to use executemany(), you should make a list of tuples like this:
cursor = conn.cursor()
params = [(k, v) for k, v in dictW.items()]
sql = 'UPDATE tablename SET col = %s WHERE %s = #url '
cursor.executemany(sql, params)
conn.commit()
conn.close()

python: update mysql table

I am trying to update a mysql table with variable names. Below is the code that is not working for me:
import mysql.connector
conn= mysql.connector.connect(
host=host,
user=user,
passwd=password,
database=database
)
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("update player_list set country = '%s', region = '%s',name = '%s' where id = %s "
% (country, region,name, id))
Running the "cur execute" line returns the following error:
mysql.connector.errors.InternalError: Unread result found
The ID column is an integer if it has any importance.

I don't see any code here how you've created your cursor, but looks like you need to specify buffered mode for your sql class to read.
Please, refer to official documentation and change your code to use buffer=True while creating your cursor and use it afterwards.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-api-mysqlcursorbuffered.html

Try
with conn.cursor() as cur:
sql = "update player_list set country = '%s', region = '%s',name = '%s' where id = %s" % (country, region,name, id)
cur.execute(sql)
conn.commit()
and add buffered = True into your conn like
connection = mysql.connector.connect([...], buffered = True)

select multiple columns using SQLite3 in Python

I have a list that contains the name of columns I want to retrieve from a table in the database.
My question is how to make the cursor select columns specified in the list. Do I have to convert nameList to a string variable before include it in the select statement? Thanks
nameList = ['A','B','C','D',...]
with sqlite3.connect(db_fileName) as conn:
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("""
select * from table
""")

As long as you can be sure your input is sanitized -- to avoid SQL injection attack -- you can do:
...
qry = "select {} from table;"
qry.format( ','.join(nameList) )
cursor.execute(qry)
If you're on a really old version of Python do instead:
...
qry = "select %s from table;"
qry % ','.join(nameList)
cursor.execute(qry)

nameList = ["'A(pct)'",'B','C','D',...]
with sqlite3.connect(db_fileName) as conn:
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("""
select {} from table
""".format(", ".join(nameList)))
