Did some SSh and vnc majic and I've got the proper formatting: [(u'(7, 28, 36)', u'(35, 47, 49)', u'(25, 34, 46)', u'(2, 5, 40)', u'(7, 24, 35)', u'(8, 17, 20)', u'(24, 33, 37)', u'(5, 8, 19)')] So what i want to do is put the above into a primary key field so that I know when duplicates have occurred and I only add unique data into the field.When I have copied the string of the query into sqlitemanger and tried to execute it ther it says ther is an error in the SQL query at ',' - which is not too helpful as I am not sure if it is the first , or 3rd or last , which is causing the problem! I have a feeling though that it is the quote mark after the unicode delimiter which is the issue but I'm not 100% sure - can anyone shed light on this and offer a solution?
