I\'m using python-mysql db api to insert some values to a table where the table name is in a python variable. So I wrote the below code

Answer 1

Try something like that:

DB_CURSOR.execute("""INSERT INTO %s (name,created_by,state,description,docs,admin_email,date_created) VALUES(%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s)""" % (hosts_table), (hostname, created_by, state, description, docroot, admin_email, date_created))

I'm not sure it will work but it could :)
