hey dennis... umm.. given that i'm building the ins var/string to insert into the execute... i can't just place the triple quotes around it..
are you saying that the execute should have quotes placed around it within the execute so it would be something like execute("\""+sel""\""... or are you saying that within python i can just extend the line for the "sel" on multiple lines.. as to the err. i'm getting a " >>> Warning: Data truncated for column it appears that if i place the >>from_unixtime(%s) << at the end of the paramaters, then everything works.. but if i place it within the "%s" block.. the error is generated. I'm assuming there's some way to wrap the from_unixtime(%s) so it could be used as %s,%s,%s, from_unixtime(%s), %s, %s,... in checking the docs/spec.. i didn't see anything that discussed this... thanks > ins = """insert into functionError_TBL > (errorStatus, CollegeID, processTime) > values (%s, %s, from_unixtime(%s) )""" > On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 9:53 AM, Dennis Lee Bieber <wlfr...@ix.netcom.com> wrote: > On Wed, 11 Aug 2010 08:08:21 -0700, bruce <badoug...@gmail.com> > declaimed the following in gmane.comp.python.general: > > >> tlist= [(1, 1, 1281502771)] >> >> ins="insert into functionError_TBL " >> ins=ins+"(errorStatus, CollegeID, processTime)" >> ins=ins+" values " >> ins=ins+" (%s,%s, from_unixtime(%s))" > > Without examining the rest of the problem, the above sequence can be > cleaned up by using triple quotes... > > ins = """insert into functionError_TBL > (errorStatus, CollegeID, processTime) > values (%s, %s, from_unixtime(%s) )""" > >> >> along with the corresponding insert portion, and the test list, an >> error is generated.. >> > What error?
