Hello List
I am at a complete loss. Here is a recap, just to be clear, I have
been unable insert into a database using MySQLdb. I can only view the
database.
My current configuration:
1. Windows XP
2. Python 2.4.2
3 MySQLdb current version
4. mysql 5.0.18-nt
5. DEV-c++ current version.
My last script was very sloppy here is my current version
#!/usr/bin/python
import MySQLdb,pdb
#pdb.set_trace()
try:
db=MySQLdb.connect(host='localhost',user='root',passwd='081300',db='tut')
cursor=db.cursor()
name = raw_input("Please enter a Name: ")
color =raw_input("Please enter a Color: ")
cursor.execute("""INSERT INTO horses(name,color)
VALUES("%s","%s")"""%(name,color))
cursor.close()
except MySQLdb.OperationalError,message:
errorMessage ='Error %d:n %s'%(message[0],message[1])
print errorMessage
this script runs without error and does not affect the database in any
manner. The database does exist. User/Password are valid. I have run
the above script , unchanged, on both Macintosh and Ubuntu with success.
