    <p>Question: Is it possible to use a variable as your table name without having to use string constructors to do so?</p> <hr> <p>Info: </p> <p>I'm working on a project right now that catalogs data from a star simulation of mine. To do so I'm loading all the data into a sqlite database. It's working pretty well, but I've decided to add a lot more flexibility, efficiency, and usability to my db. I plan on later adding planetoids to the simulation, and wanted to have a table for each star. This way I wouldn't have to query a table of 20m some planetoids for the 1-4k in each solar system. </p> <p>I've been told using string constructors is bad because it leaves me vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. While that isn't a big deal here as I'm the only person with access to these dbs, I would like to follow best practices. And also this way if I do a project with a similar situation where it is open to the public, I know what to do.</p> <p>Currently I'm doing this:</p> <pre><code>cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE StarFrame"+self.name+" (etc etc)") </code></pre> <p>This works, but I would like to do something more like:</p> <pre><code>cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE StarFrame(?) (etc etc)",self.name) </code></pre> <p>though I understand that this would probably be impossible. though I would settle for something like</p> <pre><code>cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE (?) (etc etc)",self.name) </code></pre> <p>If this is not at all possible, I'll accept that answer, but if anyone knows a way to do this, do tell. :)</p> <p>I'm coding in python.</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.
