I wanted to make a more generic way of doing this so that even if the
columns are modified or new ones are added it should be simple. Anyway
I will reconsider this sort of am implementation. Just out of
curiosity is there any other way of achieving this?
Thanks

Hello,
I am retrieving values from a database in the form of a dictionary so
I can access the values as d['column'] and I was wondering if there is
a way to convert the hash to a struct like format so i can just say
d.column. Makes it easier to read and understand.
Thanks

You may be able to update the class' dict:
class MyDB(object):
... def __init__(self, di):
... self.__dict__.update(di)
...
di = {'a':10, 'b': 20}
d = MyDB(di)
d
__main__.MyDB object at 0x7f756b0d0b90
d.a
10
d.b
20
but this might be a security risk, if you cannot trust the database or
its content.
It is much preferrable to use something like:
class MyDB(object):
... def __init__(self, di):
... self.a = di['a']
... self.b = di['b']
since you now have full control of what collumns can go in and whatnot.
