Re: Inserting an Image

[Victor Subervi]

Well, I've spent the last 2 days chasing my tail just to discover that there
was some screwy python deal going on. The following code works:

      sql = "update productsX set Name='%s', Title='%s', Description='%s',
Price='%s', Bedrooms='%s', Bathrooms='%s', Conditions='%s', Acreage='%s',
Construction='%s', Location='%s', Estate='%s', Address='%s', Furnished='%s'
where ID=%s;" % (name, title, description, price, bedrooms, bathrooms,
conditions, acreage, construction, location, estate, address, furnished, id)
      cursor.execute(sql)
      cursor.execute('update productsX set pic1=%s, pic2=%s, pic3=%s,
pic4=%s, pic5=%s, pic6=%s where ID=%s;', (pic1, pic2, pic3, pic4, pic5,
pic6, id))
Notice I have to use two separate sql calls and the only differences between
them are that the first have the strings in quotes AND there is a % sign
between the string widgets and the variables that replace them. That's it!
Wonder what the *#&^%( difference that makes.
