The sqlite3 module was written by Gerhard Häring. To use the module, you must first create a Connection object that represents the database. Here the data will be stored in the example.db file:
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('example.db')
You can also supply the special name :memory: to create a database in RAM. Once you have a Connection, you can create a Cursor object and call its execute() method to perform SQL commands:
c = conn.cursor()
# Create table
c.execute('''CREATE TABLE stocks
(date text, trans text, symbol text, qty real, price real)''')
# Insert a row of data
c.execute("INSERT INTO stocks VALUES ('2006-01-05','BUY','RHAT',100,35.14)")
# Save (commit) the changes
conn.commit()
# We can also close the connection if we are done with it.
# Just be sure any changes have been committed or they will be lost.
conn.close()
