    Subject: Newbie problem inserting into MySQL


    Hi All

    I have started a little pet project to learn python and MySQL. The
    project involves figuring out all the combinations for a 5 number
    lottery and storing the data in a MySQL file.

    The file looks like this;
    +----------+---------------------+------+-----+---------
    +----------------+
    | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default |
    Extra |
    +----------+---------------------+------+-----+---------
    +----------------+
    | lottryid | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL |
    auto_increment |
    | lottryno | char(10) | YES | | NULL
    | |
    | no1 | tinyint(3) unsigned | NO | | NULL
    | |
    | no2 | tinyint(3) unsigned | NO | | NULL
    | |
    | no3 | tinyint(3) unsigned | NO | | NULL
    | |
    | no4 | tinyint(3) unsigned | NO | | NULL
    | |
    | no5 | tinyint(3) unsigned | NO | | NULL
    | |
    | nosum | tinyint(3) unsigned | NO | | NULL
    | |
    | nohits | int(10) unsigned | YES | | NULL
    | |
    +----------+---------------------+------+-----+---------
    +----------------+

    The code looks as follows;
    #!/usr/lib/env python

    import MySQLdb
    import datetime

    db = MySQLdb.Connect ion(host="local host", user="lenyel",
    passwd="lsumnle r", \
    db="lottery")

    cursor = db.cursor()

    cursor.execute( 'delete from littlelottery')

    listofrec = []

    tupcnt = 0
    print "first tuple created"
    for a in xrange(1,36):
    for b in xrange(2,37):
    for c in xrange(3,38):
    for d in xrange(4,39):
    for e in xrange(5,40):
    tupcnt += 1
    thekey = ('%02i%02i%02i% 02i%02i' % (a,b,c,d,e))
    mysum = a + b + c + d + e
    rectuple = tupcnt, thekey, a, b, c, d, e, mysum, 0
    listofrec.appen d(rectuple)
    if tupcnt % 10000 == 0:
    print "beginnign of mysql write"
    print datetime.dateti me.now().time()
    cursor.executem any('''insert into
    littlelottery
    values (?,?,?,?,?,?,?, ?,?)''', listofrec)
    db.close()
    print "end of mysql write"
    print datetime.dateti me.now().time()
    os._exit()

    print "insert into mysql completed"

    i get the following error on insert;
    raise errorclass, errorvalue
    TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting
    Script terminated.

    Do I have to covert all of the fields in the tuple records to string
    or what?

    Len Sumnler
    --
    statement prepared first and executed many times with exectemany - db API http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/
    inline statemets can be exeucuted only.

    hope that helps
    Edwin
