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.

SQLite3 primary key not auto incrementing

I tried writing this code hoping that it will auto increment, but somehow it is not working and the output entries in id column are set to 'None'.I have also tried other answers but none of them are working.Please help if possible.
Here is the code:
import sqlite3
def connect():
conn=sqlite3.connect("books.db")
cur=conn.cursor()
cur.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS book (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,title text,author text,year int,isbn int)")
conn.commit()
conn.close()
def insert(title,author,year,isbn):
conn=sqlite3.connect("books.db")
cur=conn.cursor()
cur.execute("INSERT INTO book VALUES (?,?,?,?)",(title,author,year,isbn))
conn.commit()
conn.close()
def view():
conn=sqlite3.connect("books.db")
cur=conn.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM book ")
rows=cur.fetchall()
conn.close()
return rows
connect()
insert("sample","abc",2003,123456)
insert("sample2","def",2003,123457)
print(view())
This is the output:
[(None, 'sample', 'abc', 2003, 123456), (None, 'sample2', 'def', 2003, 123457)]

Answer Edited: Thanks to Shawn's comment I went back to play with the code and hunt down the problem It is true that AUTOINCREMENT is not needed and as such is not the problem (I learned something new about sqlite).
The following code does work. Notice, since you're not supplying data to all columns in the table that you must specify which columns you are inserting data into in your insert statement. I have removed the unnecessary AUTOINCREMENT, and modified the insert statement to work correctly.
Also note: As others have stated, you should not use * wild card for selecting all columns in production code, but instead list all columns individual.
import sqlite3
def connect():
conn=sqlite3.connect("books.db")
cur=conn.cursor()
cur.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS book (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,title text,author text,year int,isbn int)")
conn.commit()
conn.close()
def insert(title,author,year,isbn):
conn=sqlite3.connect("books.db")
cur=conn.cursor()
cur.execute("INSERT INTO book (title, author, year, isbn) VALUES (?,?,?,?)",(title,author,year,isbn))
conn.commit()
conn.close()
def view():
conn=sqlite3.connect("books.db")
cur=conn.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM book ")
rows=cur.fetchall()
conn.close()
return rows
connect()
insert("sample","abc",2003,123456)
insert("sample2","def",2003,123457)
print(view())
The produced output is:
[(1, 'sample', 'abc', 2003, 123456), (2, 'sample2', 'def', 2003, 123457)]

First SQLite recommends that you not use auto increment as your primary, you should select fields that will define a unique record whenever possible.
Second the data type you are passing in is “int” and requires the autoincrement keyword following primary key.
Third you should avoid using * in your select statement. If you simply need a row number back you can query the fields you need and add in the standard field “rowid”.

CSV import to database

I am getting the error 'sqlite3.ProgrammingError: Incorrect number of bindings supplied. The current statement uses 4, and there are 1 supplied.' The below code should be making a database and creating a table with the the titles listed below. Then take values from a csv. file and add it under the allotted headings. Any help would be would be appreciated!
import const
import sqlite3
SEP = ','
DATA_FILENAME = 'pokemon.csv'
con = sqlite3.connect('poki.db')
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS poki')
cur.execute( ' CREATE TABLE poki( pokemon TEXT, species_id INTEGER,'
' height REAL, weight REAL)' )
values = ('INSERT INTO poki VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)')
for line in DATA_FILENAME:
list_of_values = line.strip().split(SEP)
cur.execute(values, list_of_values)
cur.close()
con.commit()
con.close()

Python psycopg2 syntax error

I am new to python and working on using the psycopg2 to insert data in postgres database. I am trying to insert items but get the error message
"Psycopg2.ProgrammingError: syntax error at or near "cup"
LINE 1: INSERT INTO store VALUES(7,10.5,coffee cup)
with the ^ next to coffee cup. I am assuming the order is wrong but i thought you could enter it this way as long as you specified the values.
Here is the code.
import psycopg2
def create_table():
conn=psycopg2.connect("dbname='db1' user='postgres' password='postgress123' host='localhost' port='5432'")
cur=conn.cursor()
cur.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS store (item TEXT, quantity INTEGER, price REAL)")
conn.commit()
conn.close()
def insert(quantity, price, item):
conn=psycopg2.connect("dbname='db1' user='postgres' password='postgress123' host='localhost' port='5432'")
cur=conn.cursor()
cur.execute("INSERT INTO store VALUES(%s,%s,%s)" % (quantity, price, item))
conn.commit()
conn.close()
create_table()
insert(7, 10.5, 'coffee cup')

Remember to always use the second argument of the execute command to pass the variables, as stated here.
Also, use the name of the fields in your syntax:
cur.execute("INSERT INTO store (item, quantity, price) VALUES (%s, %s, %s);", (item, quantity, price))
That should do the trick.

Problem in your case is coffee cup parameter value is considered as string but psycopg2 accept the value in single quote.
Basically as per my understanding when we create SQL query for psycopg2 it ask for single quote for data parameters [if you have given double quote for query start and end]
In your case you have given double quote for Query Start and end so you need to give single quote for the parameters.
My Observation is you provide single quote for each data paramater in psycopg2
import psycopg2
def create_table():
conn=psycopg2.connect("dbname='db1' user='postgres' password='postgress123' host='localhost' port='5432'")
cur=conn.cursor()
cur.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS store (item TEXT, quantity INTEGER, price REAL)")
conn.commit()
conn.close()
def insert(quantity, price, item):
conn=psycopg2.connect("dbname='db1' user='postgres' password='postgress123' host='localhost' port='5432'")
cur=conn.cursor()
#cur.execute("INSERT INTO store VALUES(%s,%s,%s)" % (quantity, price, item))
cur.execute("INSERT INTO store VALUES('%s','%s','%s')" % (quantity, price, item))
conn.commit()
conn.close()
create_table()
insert(7, 10.5, 'coffee cup')

I also faced the very same problem, and after a while troubleshooting the code, I found that I forgot to add commas(,) in the Insert query.
The code that causes the error:
data['query'] = 'insert into contacts (name, contact_no, alternate_contact_no, email_id, address)' \
'values (%s %s %s %s %s)'
As you can see in above code, I forgot to add commas after every '%s'.
The correct code:
data['query'] = 'insert into contacts (name, contact_no, alternate_contact_no, email_id, address)' \
'values (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s)'
Hope, It helps!

Postgresql insert data error when using python

I am trying to insert data to the table that was created earlier using python script. Here is the code I am trying to execute. I want to insert data into table with date as well.
date_today = dt.date.today()
conn = psycopg2.connect(host = serverip, port = port, database = database, user = uid, password = pwd)
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO My_TABLE (Date, Class, Total_students, failed_students, Percent_passed_students) VALUES (date_today, 'Class Name', int1, int2, int3)")
print "Data Inserted successfully"
conn.commit()
conn.close()
Here is the error I see from my job. what am i missing here?
psycopg2.ProgrammingError: column "date_today" does not exist
I created the table using different job with the following query:
cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE MY_TABL(Date date, Lob varchar(30), Total_Students int, failed_students int, Percent_passed_students int)""")
And the table is created with above five columns.

This line:
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO My_TABLE (Date, Class, Total_students, failed_students, Percent_passed_students) VALUES (date_today, 'Class Name', int1, int2, int3)")
Is the incorrect way to dynamically insert values into a database.
Here's a functional and correct example:
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO table VALUES (%s, %s, %s)", (var1, var2, var3))
And applying it in your case...
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO My_TABLE VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s)", (date_today, 'Class Name', int1, int2, int3))
