Thanks for the link, but this is the step I am trying to save (for someone
else). Every time he goes to run a report, he must stop and import any new
csv files. Since the files are generated by a Python script, I thought I


        That information wasn't supplied in the original message. Your
original post implied that the data source /was/ the CSV file...

        Show us the code segment that is writing the CSV file, and we
can probably show you the DB-API equivalent for "writing" a new record
to the table.

For short however:

aCustomer = "Customer1"
theWidget = "Widget1"
aQuantity = 1000

# I'm presuming the table only has the three columns, since you didn't
list fields
cursor.execute(""" INSERT INTO "Table1" Values (%s, %s, %s) """,
                (aCustomer, theWidget, aQuantity))

Beware, however, that the parameter markers ("%s" in the example above) will depend on which database module you use - some modules will expect "?", for example. This depends on the module's "paramstyle".


Also, don't forget to commit the changes!
