ProgrammingError: SQLite objects created in a thread can only be used in that same thread

Question

i\'m fairly new to programming. I\'ve tried MySQL before, but now it\'s my first time using SQLite in a python flask website. So maybe I\'m using MySQL syntax instead o

Answer 1

Your cursor 'c' is not created in the same thread; it was probably initialized when the Flask app was run.

You probably want to generate SQLite objects (the conneciton, and the cursor) in the same method, such as:

  @app.route('/')
  def dostuff():
    with sql.connect("database.db") as con:
      name = "bob"
      cur = con.cursor()
      cur.execute("INSERT INTO students (name) VALUES (?)",(name))
      con.commit()
      msg = "Done"
