Luke,
It would be most helpful if you assigned the sql to
a string, printed the string, executed the string, and
posted the error message.
sql = "INSERT INTO %s (name, gender, job, level, str, dex, intel, cha, luc)
VALUES \
(%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s) \
" % (CharAccount, CharName, CharGender, CharJob, CharLevel, Strength,\
Dexterity, Inteligence, Charm, Luck)
print "sql=",sql
cursor.execute(sql)
-then show the error message here
