Hmm, I see your commit; Did you get a confirmation message from your database that the commit worked? Perhaps you could try inserting the data via a python script.
import sqlite3 # create/connect to a permanent file database con = sqlite3.connect("pyfitness2.db") # establish the cursor, needed to execute the connected db cur = con.cursor() cur.execute("INSERT INTO repository_date etc...... ;") con.commit() con.close() Note that my example is specifically for sqlite.
