Hello All,
I just began learning sqlalchemy and am not quite used to it yet so
please excuse my ignorance and which might be a trivial question to
some of you.
I am writing a database module and need to load a table and possibly
modify a record in the table. I can get the connection established and
everything works fine. The problem I am running into is that I do not
necessarily know the column name before hand to code it in the update
method. I want to be able to find out to send a generic column name
which will be updated (gets the column name dynamically).
I tried the following:
columns=['ProjectID', 'Program', 'progmanger']
test = str('table.c.'+columns[1])
update = table.update(test=='project-name', values = {test:'program'})
print update
update.execute()
I get a error when I try to run it. It does not recognize the column
for some reason even though if I print test everything seems to be OK.
I get 'project.c.Program'
Is there something I am missing here? How can I send the project and
column name to the update method dynamically?
Thank you so much in advance for any help or insight you could provide.
