    <p>EDIT: ANSWER: I needed to create another cursor for the 'einlesen()' function.</p> <p>This is my first time using SQLite3 in Python, so excuse my (maybe) horrible syntax ;) I'm trying to build kind of a DVD-Database, which fetches necessary information (actors etc.) directly from amazon. The whole program is based upon SQLite3 and Python 2.7.</p> <p>Everything works well, except my plannes "update" feature.</p> <pre><code>def update(): print 'Update Datenbank....bitte warten....' cursor.execute('''SELECT titel, amazon, erhalten, ausgeliehen FROM movies''') antwort = 'update' for row in cursor: stelle = row[1] ausg = row[2] erh = row[3] einlesen(stelle, ausg, erh, antwort) print row[0] raw_input('Update komplett!') menu() </code></pre> <p>The problem is, the loop exits after one iteration.</p> <p>The output looks like this:</p> <pre><code>Update Datenbank....bitte warten.... #a few seconds pass The Day After Tommorrow Update komplett! </code></pre> <p>So I see, the loop and the function call are correct (the database gets updated correctly - done by the function 'einlesen()'), but there are more iterations, not just one... So my question is: What is wrong? ;)</p> <p>Here is the (abbreviated) 'einlesen()' function:</p> <pre><code>def einlesen(asin, ausg, erh, antwort): d = {} infos = urllib.urlopen('http://www.amazon.de/dp/'+asin).read() titel = infos[infos.find('Kaufen Sie')+11:infos.find('nstig ein')-3] art = 'dvd' infos = remove_html_tags(infos) infos = infos[infos.find('Darsteller: '):infos.find('Durchschnittliche')] infos = infos.split('\n') for x in range(200): try: infos.remove('') except: break for element in infos: d[element.split(': ')[0].lstrip()] = element.split(': ')[1] #(excluded the whole Info-Scraping process) if antwort == 'update': movie = dauer, art, regie, jahr, fsk, darsteller, titel sql = ('''UPDATE movies SET laufzeit = ?, art = ?, regie = ?, jahr = ?, fsk = ?, darsteller = ? WHERE titel = ?''') cursor.execute(sql, movie) connection.commit() else: menu() </code></pre> <p>Thanks for your help.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
