Using INSERT with a PostgreSQL Database using Python
I am trying to insert data into a PostgreSQL database table using Python. I don't see any syntax errors but, for some reason, my data isn't getting inserted into the database.
conn = psycopg2.connect(connection)
cursor = conn.cursor()
items = pickle.load(open(pickle_file,"rb"))
for item in items:
city = item[0]
price = item[1]
info = item[2]
query = "INSERT INTO items (info, city, price) VALUES (%s, %s, %s);"
data = (info, city, price)
cursor.execute(query, data)
You have to commit the transaction.
conn.commit()
If there's no reason to think the transaction will fail, it's faster to commit after the for loop finishes.
