[Tutor] Databases in Python

[aug dawg]

Oh, stupid me forgot the error message. Well, for some odd reason it works
now, but there are still some issues. When I tried it just a few minutes
ago, it worked fine, it seemed to me.
If anyone have any tips, please let me know. Thanks everyone for the tips.
