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

columns = ', '.join(str(x).replace('/', '_') for x in row_dict.keys())

values = ', '.join("'" + str(x).replace('/', '_') + "'" for x in row_dict.values())

sql = "INSERT INTO %s ( %s ) VALUES ( %s );" % ("tablename", columns, values)

applicable for python3
