Ok, I'm almost there. Thank you.
So i finally realized that the length is not a problem but the actual
body. The body includes characters such as " ' ", so ( I'm, I'll, etc)
which cause it to give an error.
>>>body="helo I'm here,I'll be there"
>>> body=body *15
When i try :
c.execute("Insert into table_x(body) VALUES(%s)",(body))
This will work but how do i make :
sql="Insert into table_x(body) VALUES(%s)",(body)
c.execute(sql) #complains that i give it a tuple, which i did when
you look at sql
One problem i see here is that it works in one way but no the other.
So how do i add id and make it work both ways?
c.execute("Insert into table_x(id,body) VALUES(%d,%s)",(id),(body))
??does not work
I'm not familiar with ('pyformat' Python extended format codes,
e.g. '...WHERE name=%(name)s' ), therefore i would prefer to use
"insert into table_x(id,body)VALUES('%d','%s')" % (id,body)
-How to account for " I'll " in a body?
-When would i HAVE to use pyformat? Can everything be done in
'format' ANSI C printf format codes, e.g. '...WHERE name=%s'
Thanks,
Lukasz
