Hello,
I am a complete beginner with Python. I've managed to get mod_python up and
running with Apache2 and I'm trying to a simple insert into a table in a
MySQL database.
I'm using the MySQLdb library for connectivity. I can read from the database
no problem, but when I do an insert, the value never gets added to the
database, even though there is no error, and the SQL is fine (I print out
the SQL statement in the function). When I copy and paste the sql from my
browser and insert directly into MySQL, it works fine.
Here is the function in question:
def add(req):
db = MySQLdb.connect(host="intranet", user="root", passwd="",
db="intranet")
# create a cursor
cursor = db.cursor()
# execute SQL statement
sql = "INSERT INTO category (category_name) VALUES ('" +
req.form['category'] + "')"
cursor.execute(sql)
return sql
The SQL it is outputting is:
INSERT INTO category (category_name) VALUES ('Test')
Am I doing something obviously incorrect here?
Thanks,
Dave
