guys so far i came out with this but i get this error
waseem at Linux:~/Project2$ python experment.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "experment.py", line 13, in <module>
    curse.execute('INSERT INTO photos VALUES (?,?,?,?)',item)
sqlite3.ProgrammingError: Incorrect number of bindings supplied. The current
statement uses 4, and there are 1 supplied.

here's the codes

import sqlite3
import csv

f = open('/home/waseem/Project2/photos.txt')
csv.field_size_limit(100000) #see below!
input = csv.reader(f, delimiter='\t')
conn = sqlite3.connect('/home/waseem/Project2/picutres.db')
curse = conn.cursor()

curse.execute('CREATE TABLE photos (Name VARCHAR(100) PRIMARY KEY, Date
INTEGER, Make VARCHAR(50), Tag VARCHAR(100))')

for item in input:
	curse.execute('INSERT INTO photos VALUES (?,?,?,?)',item)
curse.commit()
