Python function for reading and manipulate sqlite table

[natachai]

I am new in python and pysqlite. Right now, I am reallly trying to figure it out the way that I can make python function read the table in sqlite database and calculate data using SQL language.

For example:
I do have database name "CART.sqlit e" with table name "oritab"

now I do write the function in python as follow (real code is indented)
*************** *************** *************** *************** ************

from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite
conn = sqlite.connect('C:\CART.sqlite')
ex = cur.execute

def deviance(set):
    SQL_AvgYj = "SELECT AVG(DurationTotal) As Results FROM set"
    SQL_N = "SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT P_CODE) AS N FROM set"
    SQL_Nmin = "SELECT MIN(P_CODE) AS Nmin FROM set"
    SQL_Nmax = "SELECT MAX(P_CODE) AS Nmax FROM set"
    AvgYj = ex(SQL_AvgYj).fetchall()
    N = ex(SQL_N).fetchall()
    Nmin = ex(SQL_Nmin).fetchall()
    Nmax = ex(SQL_Nmax).fetchall()
    count = Nmin
    S = 0
    while count <= Nmax:
        actcount = 1
        while actcount <= 30:
            Yij = ex("SELECT SUM(DurationTotal) FROM set WHERE   P_CODE=count AND ActCode=actcount")
            S += (Yij-AvgYj)**2
            actcount += 1
        count += 1
    return S

*************** *************** *************** *************** *************** **
then I call function as follow

result = deviance(oritab )
*************** *************** *************** *************** *************** *
Seem like it wont work this way. python is not recognize the table name at all.
I really confuse how can I dump the table from sqlite into python function.
could any one can help me or guide me into the right direction pls

Please use code tags when posting code. See our posting guidelines.

An initial observation - table name "oritab" is passed to function deviance() and assigned to identifier "set". You can use string formatting to pass the string "oritab" to pysqlite. Example:

SQL_AvgYj = "SELECT AVG(DurationTotal) As Results FROM %s" % (set)
