[DB-SIG] Insert for Oracledb

[Cary Collett]

Vicky,

Here's a quick, dirty example...

>>> import oracledb
>>> cobj = oracledb.oracledb('foo/bar')
>>> cu = cobj.cursor()
>>> a = (1,11714,10,0,'Bob')
>>> qs = "INSERT INTO ppiOrder (orderID,accountID,amount,discountPercent,salesRepName) VALUES (" + str(a[0]) + "," + str(a[1]) + "," + str(a[2]) + "," + str(a[3]) + ",'" + a[4] + "')"
>>> qs
"INSERT INTO ppiOrder (orderID,accountID,amount,discountPercent,salesRepName) VALUES (1,11714,10,0,'Bob')"
>>> cu.execute(qs)
1
>>> cobj.rollback()    


You might also have your program send the query string to the stdout 
or stderr to see what it looks like. Try it in sqlplus, it will
give you a little bit better error diagnostics.



Hope this helps,

Cary
