I am working on a learning how to execute SQL in python (I know SQL, not Python).

I have an external sql file. It creates and inserts data into three tables \'Zooke

Answer 1

A very simple way to read an external script into an sqlite database in python is using executescript():

import sqlite3

conn = sqlite3.connect('csc455_HW3.db')

with open('ZooDatabase.sql', 'r') as sql_file:
    conn.executescript(sql_file.read())

conn.close()
