parameter unsupported when inserting int in sqlite

Question

I have been going around and around with storing date and time in SQLite3 with the intention of retrieving the records using comparisons later e.g. SELECT * WHERE date

Answer 1

changing that line with this

cur.execute('insert into new_test (curent_dt) values (?)',str(temp))

Answer 2

Note the added comma after "temp" below:

cur.execute('insert into new_test (curent_dt) values (?)', (temp,))

The reason this happens is that (temp) is an integer but (temp,) is a tuple of length one containing temp.
