mysql.connector.errors.ProgrammingError: 1064 (4200): You have an error in your SQL syntax;

Question

I am attempting to insert data into a MySQL database. I am using python 2.7 and I am using the mysql.connector.

My error is:

mysql.connecto

Answer 1

I was getting same error and while searching for its solution I stumbled upon this question after several attempts I was able to resolve. The mistake was a typing error for column name in WHERE clause of UPDATE statement. My column name was 'ROLL_NO' instead I had typed 'ROLL_NO.' Please look to this point as well.

Answer 2

str parameter in SQL query must by in quote 'str'.
So, need use '%s' with ' ' for str, and %s without ' ' for numbers:

cursor.execute("""INSERT INTO db_name (str,int,str,int)
                  VALUES ('%s', %s, '%s', %s)""" % (str,int,str,int))
cnx.commit()

Answer 3

mycursor.execute("insert into table_name(column) values(%s)"%data_variable)

Answer 4

I think the issue here might be the semicolon at the end of the query.

Have a good day.

Answer 5

I had the same issue with the single parameter statement, this worked:

mycursor.execute("INSERT INTO cust (user) VALUES(%s)" % (username))

Answer 6

Try this

SQLInsertCmd = """INSERT INTO
                  TestNounPhrase (NPhrase) VALUES ((%s))"""  % (np)
cursor.execute(SQLInsertCmd)
