python – How to pass a variable as a column name with pyodbc?

  • 0

[ad_1]

I have a list that has two phone numbers and I’d like to put each phone number into its own column in an Access database. The column names are Phone_Number1 and Phone_Number2. How do I pass that to the INSERT statement?

phone_numbers = ['318.218.5211', '318.746.5737']

driver="{Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)}"
filepath="C:/Users/Notebook/Documents/master.accdb"
myDataSources = pyodbc.dataSources()
access_driver = myDataSources['MS Access Database']

conn = pyodbc.connect(driver=driver, dbq=filepath)
cursor = conn.cursor()

phone_number_count = 1
for phone_number in phone_numbers:
    column_name = "Phone_Number" + str(phone_number_count)
    cursor.execute("INSERT INTO Business_Cards (column_name) VALUES (?)", (phone_number))

conn.commit()
print("Your database has been updated.")

This is what I have so far.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Notebook/PycharmProjects/Jarvis/BusinessCard.py", line 55, in <module>
    database_entry(phone_numbers, emails, name, title)
  File "C:/Users/Notebook/PycharmProjects/Jarvis/BusinessCard.py", line 47, in database_entry
    cursor.execute("INSERT INTO Business_Cards (column_name) VALUES (?)", (phone_number))
pyodbc.Error: ('HYS22', "[HYS22] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The INSERT INTO statement contains the following unknown field name: 'column_name'. Make sure you have typed the name correctly, and try the operation again. (-1507) (SQLExecDirectW)")
