Updating a Table by using Sqlite3 Module in Python

I am working on a project where i need to update the password column of a user table pointing userid as the primary key, whenever the user reset his/her password. I am passing username and password to update_table function based on the values entered by the user from console and below is my code snippet -
def sql_update_table(conn, username, reset_password):
c = conn.cursor()
#value = (username, reset_password)
#c.execute('''UPDATE user SET password = ? WHERE userid = ? ''', value)
c.execute('''UPDATE user SET password = reset_password WHERE userid = username''')
conn.commit()
I tried both case passing values with a tuple as mentioned in # and directly as mentioned without a #. However, for first case, there is no error but the table is not getting updated with the new value of password and for later one i am getting below error -
sqlite3.OperationalError: no such column: reset_password
Please help me to solve this.
Thanks in advance !

Can you please try replacing
c.execute('''UPDATE user SET password = reset_password WHERE userid = username''')
with
c.execute('''UPDATE user SET password = ? WHERE userid = ? ''', (username,reset_password))

How to check for multiple data when deleting a row

I want to delete a row using Python with MySQL but when I delete it I have to use this command:
cursor.execute("DELETE FROM users WHERE username= jazzar")
But I want to check for multiple things like the email and password

You can use multiple conditions in query.
cursor.execute("DELETE FROM users WHERE username = jazzar AND email = jazzar#example.com AND password = YOUR_PASSWORD")

locating a password that corresponds to a username within an sqlite table

I am running a website using Flask microframework and sqlite3 to store user logins. Currently, I am having trouble with matching the username and password entered by the user from an HTML form, with the existing records within my database.
I am using the flask-login extension to help me with this, and when I try and match, I am receiving a TypeError:
list indices must be integers or slices, not str
here is my python code that is turning the SQLite table into a variable:
con = sql.connect("table.db")
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute('SELECT * FROM users')
names = cur.fetchall()
I then have this code which is taking the password from the HTML form, and trying to match it with the password linked to the username in the table
user_name = request.form['username']
if request.form['password'] == names[user_name]['password']:
user = User()
user.id = user_name
flask_login.login_user(user)
this is what 'names' returns:
[(7, 'ValidName', 'ValidTest', 'User#test.com'), (8, 'User2', 'password2', 'User#test2.com')]
What needs to happen is the program will check the form input for 'password' and will match it with the 'password' that is related to the username. So as an example, if ValidName and ValidTest were entered into the form, they would be requested by the program, and matched with the records found in 'names'.

I assume you have not hashed your password which is something you should do. Without security in mind
here is my dirty approach
cur.execute('SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = %s AND password = %s', (request.form['username'], request.form['password']))
user = cur.fetchone()
This can be helpful

Here is the guilty: names[user_name]['password']
names is the return value of fetchall and hence is a plain list. To use it in above expression, it should be a mapping of mappings.
You should construct it that way:
names = {row[1]: {'id': row[0], 'password': row[2], 'mail': row[3]}
for row in cur.fetchall()}
But beware: this loads the full user database in memory. It only makes sense if you have few users...

SQL Query returning "None" instead of row

I'm working on a light login, and have a tabled titled Users. I'm trying to take my login form POST body and verify it across the database.
Values from form:
user = request.form['username']
password = request.form['password']
SQL Statement:
conn = sqlite3.connect(db)
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Username LIKE '(%s)'" % user)
row = cur.fetchone()
Users Table:
So on a POST request from my form, here is what is printed:
Print(user, password) = ph104694 Password123
Print(row) = None
So you can see the row is being returned as None when the data absolutely exists. If I change user to something I know is incorrect, I'm getting the same results, but if I change the table from Users to something like Users2 I'm met with a no table exists error which is fine. So despite matching data existing something about my statement isn't allowing it to produce that row. Any ideas?

You're search expression is evaluating to (ph104694) which clearly doesn't exist in the data you showed.
There is no reason to use the LIKE operator here and it probably runs counter to what you want to do (match the single record exactly matching the user ID that was entered).
This is the classic example of code that is subject to an SQL injection attack. You should never, never, ever use string interpolation to build an SQL string like this. Instead, use parameter substitution.
Taken all together, you want something like this:
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Username = ?", [user])

Your query string evaluates to "SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Username LIKE '(ph104694)'".
Note the parentheses which aren't in the actual username.
Also, you almost certainly don't want to use LIKE.
What you want is "SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Username = 'ph104694'"
Which would create with "SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Username = '{user}'".format(user=user)
Also, you can (and should) parameterize this as
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Username = :user", {user: user})

Create Custom Column name in sqlite table in Python

I want to create a table in SQLite with Python where the column names will be stored in a variable.
import sqlite3 as lite<br>
con = lite.connect('MyData.db')
name = raw_input() # I am taking values from user here
id1 = raw_input()
a=con.execute("CREATE TABLE PROD_SA_U_1(
name TEXT,
ids INT")
Instead of the column being named as "name","id" , I want what the user inputs.

You could simply substitute the names the user provides in the query string.
Example:
import sqlite3 as lite
con = lite.connect('MyData.db')
field_1 = raw_input()
field_2 = raw_input()
query = "CREATE TABLE PROD_SA_U_1( %s TEXT, %s INT)"
a = con.execute(query % (field_1, field_2))
However, note that this approach is vulnurable to running incorrect queries if the fields are not validated, so you should sanitise the fields before passing them further. For example, a malicious user might pass a Drop database query within your arguments.
