When writing paths on Windows, it's a good idea to use raw string
literals or slashes instead of backslashes:

     conn = sqlite3.connect(r'c:\Documents and 
Settings\Igor.FORDANWORK\Desktop\mydb.db', detect_types = 
sqlite3.PARSE_DECLTYPES|sqlite3.PARSE_COLNAMES)

or:

     conn = sqlite3.connect('c:/Documents and 
Settings/Igor.FORDANWORK/Desktop/mydb.db', detect_types = 
sqlite3.PARSE_DECLTYPES|sqlite3.PARSE_COLNAMES)
