SSCCE starts with Short. The HTML you unloaded into that email
hardly qualifies.

When you're trying to figure out a problem that appears to happen only
when you have X and not when you have Y, see what the smallest example
data for X and Y are that continue to exhibit the difference. It's way
easier, especially on those of us who might have been interested in
helping, had it been possible to paste your failing code into IDLE.
Plus, in cutting it down you might discover what the real cause of the
problem is.

Of course, sometimes you fail to cut something down as expected. In
this example, HTML didn't turn out to be the problem, so cutting it
down to html/html wouldn't have worked. But do at least _try_,
and then mention what worked and didn't work in your question.

This is the reason  I posted in the beginning only the part with the

MySQLdb insert HTML code error

2012-12-10 Thread Anatoli Hristov
Hi all,

I'm facing an issue inserting an html code into the DB, it comes out
with a syntax error but I face it only when I have html code. Could
help me escape the error somehow ?

Here is my code

def InsertSpecsDB(product_id, spec, lang, name):
db = MySQLdb.connect(localhost,getit,opencart)
cursor = db.cursor()
sql = (INSERT INTO product_description (product_id, language_id,
name, description) VALUES ('%s','%s','%s','%s'))
params = (product_id, lang, name, spec)
cursor.execute(sql, params)
id = cursor.lastrowid
printUpdated ID %s description %s %(int(id), lang)
return id

Thanks

As much use as a chocolate teapot, all you've given is a function/method 
definition.  No indication of your OS, Python version, calling code, 
what you expect to happen, what actually happened, apart from that your 
request for assistance is perfect.  Usually I'd be able to help but 
sadly my crystal ball is in for repairs at the moment.  Would you please 
be kind enough to elucidate.

Thanks for your answer, the OS is CentOS release 5.7. MySQL - 5.0.96
As I said the function is working right, except when I insert an HTML code.

You're using a parametrised query (which is good :-)), but you've included
quotes around the placeholders. There's no need to do that. They'll be
quoted automatically when necessary:

sql = INSERT INTO product_description (product_id, language_id, name, 
description) VALUES (%s,%s,%s,%s)

Re: MySQLdb insert HTML code error

2012-12-10 Thread Anatoli Hristov

First thing -- DON'T put quotes around the %s place-holders... The
 whole purpose of using the parameterized .execute() is to let the
 database adapter properly escape the parameters before putting them into
 the SQL (since MySQL didn't have prepared statements before v5, it was
 producing full SQL statements for each insert, even with .executemany()
 )

Thank you, this solved my problem.:)
