Using a Python dict for a SQL INSERT statement

Question

I am trying to use a dict to do a SQL INSERT. The logic would basically be:

INSERT INTO table (dict.keys()) VALUES dict.values()
         


        

Answer 1

I used this thread for my usage and tried to keep it much simpler

ins_qry = "INSERT INTO {tablename} ({columns}) VALUES {values};" .format(
            tablename=my_tablename,
            columns=', '.join(myDict.keys()),
            values=tuple(myDict.values())
        )
cursor.execute(ins_qry)

Make sure to commit the data inserted, either using db_connection.commit() and use cursor.lastrowid, if you need the primary key of the inserted row
