[EMAIL PROTECTED] | i gott the same results with both executemany and execute. i will try | with some other sql modules. if you try tim so let me now if | you cot it | to work.
OK, the relevant thing here is the paramstyle. When I made that misguided claim earlier that "?" was the most common parameter character, I didn't check whether pymssql actually uses it. And it doesn't. <code> import pymssql print pymssql.paramstyle # pyformat </code> This means that you are expected to put %s everywhere you want a substitution from your parameter list. Again, don't bother quoting for strings etc. Therefore, the following works for this db-module: <code> import pymssql db = pymssql.connect (...) # # Fake some data as tho' it had come from # your text file. # data = data = [[1, 'Tim', 'Golden'], [2, 'Fred', 'Smith']] q = db.cursor () q.execute ("CREATE TABLE ztemp (id INT, first_name VARCHAR (60), last_name VARCHAR (60))") q.executemany ("INSERT INTO ztemp (id, first_name, last_name) VALUES (%s, %s, %s)", data) q.execute ("SELECT * FROM ztemp") for row in q.fetchall (): print row q.execute ("DROP TABLE ztemp") </code> TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
