sqlite3.OperationalError: no such column: USA

Question

I am moving data from one database to another with the following statment

    cursor.execute("\
                INSERT INTO table (ID, Country)\
                SELECT ID, Country\
                FROM database.t\
                WHERE Country = `USA`\
                GROUP BY Country\
                ;")

But I get the error

    sqlite3.OperationalError: no such column: USA

Can't figure out why

Answer 1

Use single quotes, not backticks, when referring to a string literal in your SQLite query:

INSERT INTO table (ID, Country)
SELECT ID, Country
FROM database.t
WHERE Country = 'USA'
GROUP BY Country
