How to get more then one letter queries back in sqlite3 python?

Question

I am making a program where you can search if something is in an sqlite3 database.

def search():
tk = Tk()
tk.geometry('500x500')
def create():
    gette = entt.get()
    conn = sqlite3.connect('friend.db')
    with conn:
        cursor = conn.cursor()
    cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM Photos WHERE name1=?', gette)
    conn.commit()
    result = cursor.fetchall()
    print(result)

The program only works when I search 1 letter things. When I try something else, it says that there is incorrect number of binding supplies. It also says that the current statement uses 1, while there is how many letters I gave supplied. If anyone knows how to fix this, that would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The Cursor.execute() method expects a sequence as second parameter. You are supplying a string which happens to be 8 characters long.

Use the following form instead:

cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM Photos WHERE name1=?', [gette])
