Hi,
I normally work with Java but I'm interested in using Python as well,
particularly for little tasks like doing some massaging of data in a
MySQL database. Below is my first attempt. I'm sure it's inelegantly
written, but my main concern is that the UPDATE sql doesn't actually
work, and I can't understand why. No error is returned, it's just that
the update does not take place. The SQL itself is fine, though - if I
instead write the SQL to a file I can use it from the mysql command line
and it does all the updates just fine. What have I missed?

=============== =============== =====
#!/usr/bin/python
# import MySQL module
import MySQLdb
# connect
db = MySQLdb.connect (host="localhos t", user="john",
passwd="xxx",db ="test_db")
# create a cursor
cursor = db.cursor()
# execute SQL statement
cursor.execute( "SELECT DISTINCT product_id FROM product_attribu te")
# get the resultset as a tuple
result = cursor.fetchall ()
# iterate through resultset
for record in result:
sql="SELECT id FROM product_attribu te WHERE product_id =
"+str(recor d[0])
print " "+sql
cursor.execute( sql)
result2=cursor. fetchall()
index=0
for record2 in result2:
sql="UPDATE product_attribu te SET index_column = "+str(index )+"
WHERE id = "+str(recor d2[0])
print " "+sql
cursor.execute( sql)
index+=1
cursor.close() 1 2354
>> sql="UPDATE product_attribu te SET index_column = "+str(index )+" WHERE id = "+str(recor d2[0]) .. cursor.execute( sql)
To allow the DB-API adaptor to correctly take care of value conversion
and SQL escaping for you, this should be written as:
cursor.execute( "UPDATE product_attribu te SET col1 = %s WHERE id = %s",
(index, record2[0]))
As for why the UPDATE has no effect, which version of MySQL are you
using?

When issuing updates in mysql (in the console window), mysql will tell
you if any rows matched and how many rows were updated (see below). I
know how to get number of rows udpated using MySQLdb, but is there any
way to get the number of rows matched? I want to find out, when rows
updated = 0, if there were no updates because the row wasn't found
(rows matched will = 0) or because the update would not have changed
any data (rows matched =...

I am attempting to get MySQLdb 0.9.2 installed on Mac OS 10.2 with a

know what to do about conflicting header files, or where I would find
them, and once I found them, which ones to remove.

The point here is that MySQLdb is a package, not a module. Some packages
have their top-level __init__.py import the package's sub-modules or
sub-packages to make them immediately available within the package
namespace (which is why, for example, you can access os.path.* when you
have imported os) and others don't.
MySQLdb clearly doesn't need to import the cursors module for its own

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
