I have just started with python and MySQL. I have a simple test for each of my tables.
The first two work as expected, but the third 'qlooks', gives a ValueError. If I copy and paste the SQL in the traceback to phpMyAdmin, it works as expected. Can anyone give a clue as to what I am doing wrong Python 2.4 MySQL 4.1.22-standard The tablename qlooks is LOWERCASE Code ======================================================= cursor = gv.conn.cursor() queries = ["%septi%"] fields = ("qlTitle", "qlSubTitle", "qlPostCode", "qlMap", "qlDetails") tblFields = "select * from qlooks " whereTests = 'Where qlTitle like "%septi%"' sql = tblFields + whereTests #cursor.execute(sql) cursor.execute('select * from PERMS') row = cursor.fetchone() print "Row=", row, gv.nl cursor.execute('select * from LISTS') row = cursor.fetchone() print "Row=", row, gv.nl cursor.execute('select * from qlooks') row = cursor.fetchone() print "Row=", row, gv.nl cursor.close() ERROR TRACEBACK ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 79 print "Row=", row, gv.nl 80 cursor.execute('select * from qlooks') 81 row = cursor.fetchone() 82 print "Row=", row, gv.nl cursor = <MySQLdb.cursors.Cursor instance>, cursor.execute = <bound method Cursor.execute of <MySQLdb.cursors.Cursor instance>> /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MySQLdb/cursors.py in execute(self=<MySQLdb.cursors.Cursor instance>, query='select * from qlooks', args=None) 93 """ 94 del self.messages[:] 95 return self._execute(query, args) 96 97 def _execute(self, query, args): self = <MySQLdb.cursors.Cursor instance>, self._execute = <bound method Cursor._execute of <MySQLdb.cursors.Cursor instance>>, query = 'select * from qlooks', args = None /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MySQLdb/cursors.py in _execute(self=<MySQLdb.cursors.Cursor instance>, query='select * from qlooks', args=None) 112 exc, value, tb = exc_info() 113 del tb 114 self.errorhandler(self, exc, value) 115 self._executed = query 116 return r self = <MySQLdb.cursors.Cursor instance>, self.errorhandler = <bound method Connection.defaulterrorhandler of ...l.connection open to 'db.sabren.com' at 936cac4>>, exc = <class exceptions.ValueError>, value = <exceptions.ValueError instance> /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py in defaulterrorhandler(connection=<_mysql.connection open to 'db.sabren.com' at 936cac4>, cursor=<MySQLdb.cursors.Cursor instance>, errorclass=<class exceptions.ValueError>, errorvalue=<exceptions.ValueError instance>) 31 else: 32 connection.messages.append(error) 33 raise errorclass, errorvalue 34 35 errorclass = <class exceptions.ValueError>, errorvalue = <exceptions.ValueError instance> ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 0- args = ('invalid literal for int(): 0-',) ========================================= Thanks Richard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
