How do I get around not being able to parse a table name into a python sqlite query?

Question

I have a python3 program that I\'m making which uses a sqlite database with several tables, I want to create a selector module to allow me to chose which table to pull data from

Answer 1

I don't know if this is a python3 thing but it seems easiest to just do this:

c.execute("SELECT * FROM %s "% tablename)

Answer 2

Blockquote * Right. You can not use parameter substitution to specify the table. So instead you must do string manipulation: c.execute("SELECT * FROM {t} ".format(t=tablename))* Blockquote

Thanks unutbu, this is just what I needed.

Right. You can not use parameter substitution to specify the table. So instead you must do string manipulation:

c.execute("SELECT * FROM {t} ".format(t=tablename))
