cur.executescript("UPDATE '{}' SET BALANCE=BALANCE+50 WHERE ID > ?".format(fgr, (4),))
con.commit()
con.close()

Answer 1

I suspect that you are building your update query incorrectly. Try this version:

fgr = 1043
ID = 4
cur.executescript("UPDATE \"" + fgr + "\" SET BALANCE = BALANCE + 50 WHERE ID > ?", (ID,))

If the above still update no records, then maybe you don't have any matching records in your SQLite database. Try to confirm this by running the following select:

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM 1043
WHERE ID > 4;
