Answer 1

For anyone who needs to use "insert or update" instead of "insert ignore" below query can be used

q = """ INSERT INTO TABLE1 (Item_Name, Item_Price, Item_In_Stock, Item_Max, Observation_Date ) 
        values (%s,%s,%s,%s,%s) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE Item_Name = VALUES(Item_Name), 
        Item_Price = VALUES(Item_Price), Item_In_Stock = VALUES(Item_In_Stock), Item_Max = VALUES(Item_Max), 
        Observation_Date = VALUES(Observation_Date)       
    """ 

If Item_Name is the primary key of the TABLE1, then remove it from update part as below, since in update, primary key need not be updated

q = """ INSERT INTO TABLE1 (Item_Name, Item_Price, Item_In_Stock, Item_Max, Observation_Date ) 
        values (%s,%s,%s,%s,%s) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE Item_Price = VALUES(Item_Price), Item_In_Stock = VALUES(Item_In_Stock), Item_Max = VALUES(Item_Max), 
        Observation_Date = VALUES(Observation_Date)       
    """  

Answer 2

itemBank = [] 
for row in rows:
    itemBank.append((
        tempRow2['Item_Name'],
        tempRow1['Item_Price'],
        tempRow3['Item_In_Stock'],
        tempRow4['Item_Max'], 
        getTimeExtra
        )) #append data


q = """ insert ignore into TABLE1 (
        Item_Name, Item_Price, Item_In_Stock, Item_Max, Observation_Date ) 
        values (%s,%s,%s,%s,%s)           
    """

try:
    x.executemany(q, itemBank)
    conn.commit()
except:
    conn.rollback()
