    <p>I am pretty new to Python programing and programing in general so bare with me. </p> <p>I am trying to create a program that takes a number of tab delaminated text files, and works through them one at a time entering the data they hold into a MySQL database. There are several text files, like movies.txt which looks like this:</p> <pre><code>1 Avatar 3 Iron Man 3 Star Trek </code></pre> <p>and actors.txt that looks the same etc. Each text file has upwards of one hundred entries each with an id and corresponding value as seen above. I have found a number of code examples on this site and others but I can't quite get my head around how to implement them in this situation.</p> <p>So far my code looks something like this ... </p> <pre><code>import MySQLdb database_connection = MySQLdb.connect(host='localhost', user='root', passwd='') cursor = database_connection.cursor() cursor.execute('CREATE DATABASE library') cursor.execute('USE library') cursor.execute('''CREATE TABLE popularity ( PersonNumber INT, Category VARCHAR(25), Value VARCHAR(60), ) ''') def data_entry(categories): </code></pre> <p>Everytime i try to get the other code I have found working with this I just get lost completely. Hopeing someone can help me out by either showing me what I need to do or pointing me in the direction of some more information. </p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Examples of the code I have been trying to adapt to my situation are:</p> <pre><code>import MySQLdb, csv, sys conn = MySQLdb.connect (host = "localhost",user = "usr", passwd = "pass",db = "databasename") c = conn.cursor() csv_data=csv.reader(file("a.txt")) for row in csv_data: print row c.execute("INSERT INTO a (first, last) VALUES (%s, %s), row") c.commit() c.close() </code></pre> <p>and:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/928918/python-file-read-write">Python File Read + Write</a></p>

    1. COTry moving the **"** in your second example so that row is passed to the execute call. c.execute("INSERT INTO a (first, last) VALUES (%s, %s)", row) This link has a couple execute examples. http://mysql-python.sourceforge.net/MySQLdb.html#connection-objects

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.
