I understood that with sqlite3 in Python you can not use prepared
statements. Below the way I solved this.
Also an URL is unique, so I need to check that if it is found, the
values are the same as the ones I wanted to insert.
This is my code.
========================================================================
select_url = '''SELECT year
, month
, description
FROM LINKS
WHERE URL = ?'''
year = 2015
month = 8
for link in links:
description = link[0]
url = link[1]
url_values = c.execute(select_url, [url]).fetchall()
if len(url_values) == 0:
print('Adding {0}'.format(link))
c.execute('''INSERT INTO links
(year, month, description, URL)
VALUES
(?, ?, ?, ?)
''',
[year, month, description, url])
else:
to_insert = (year, month, description)
found = url_values[0]
if found != to_insert:
print('For {0} found {1} instead of {2}'.format(url, found,
to_insert))
