I have four tables that all have the same column names (50 in each.)
I have created an admin program to edit, delete and add records to the
tables and would like to use the table name as a variable in each query so
the code can be used for each of the 4 tables. Usually I would do something
like this by having 1 table with special column to categorize the records as
I am doing with each table, but this specific application requires that I do
it with 4 tables instead.
To ensure that string are quoted properly without any hassle I use the
execute function like so assuming c is my cursor object...
c.execute("update tableName set col1 = %s, col2 = %s, col3 = %s, ...",
(val1, val2, val3, ...))
But, not I want to do this with a variable tableName. If I add it to the
tuple of parameters in the second arg before val1 and replace tableName with
%s, then the tableName will be quoted in the query, causing an error.
What is the best (easiest) way for me to accomplish this? I know it may be
a stupid question but I just can't figure it out.
Thanks for any help.
