There are many eaxmples of this, but in all cases that I saw they knew the names of the fields(columns). The two tables have exactly the same column/fields.
My solution has solved my current problem but as you can see from the code, it might qualify for the 'most ridiculous code of the year' award.
# Copy data from one table to another in the same database
print '-' * 70
print 'Copy data from one table to another in the same database\n'
print ' Usefull for creating test data.'
print '-' * 70
import sqlite3
connection = sqlite3.connect("table.sqlite")
cursor = connection.cursor()
source_table = 'table1'
target_table = 'test_table1'
stmt = "SELECT * FROM %s" % source_table
cursor.execute(stmt)
data = cursor.fetchall()
for row in data:
stmt = "insert into %s values " % target_table + str(row)
stmt = stmt.replace("u'", '"')
stmt = stmt.replace("'", '"')
stmt = stmt.replace(' None', ' Null')
cursor.execute(stmt)
connection.commit()
connection.close()
There must be a better (more reliable) way to do this.
Use cursor.executemany
:
import sqlite3
connection = sqlite3.connect("table.sqlite")
cursor = connection.cursor()
source_table = 'table1'
target_table = 'test_table1'
stmt = "SELECT * FROM %s" % source_table
cursor.execute(stmt)
data = cursor.fetchall()
fields = ','.join('?' for desc in cursor.description)
stmt = "insert into {} values ({})".format(target_table, fields)
cursor.executemany(stmt, data)
connection.commit()
connection.close()
Used cursor.description
to get column data.
NOTE
parameter marks vary according to database module. sqlite3 module use qmark( ?
). You should check it if you use another database module.
