I'm trying to create an SQLite 3 database from Python. I have a few types I'd like to insert into each record: A float, and then 3 groups of n floats, currently a tuple but could be an array or list.. I'm not well-enough versed in Python to understand all the differences. My problem is the INSERT statement.
DAS = 12345
lats = (42,43,44,45)
lons = (10,11,12,13)
times = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
import sqlite3
connection = sqlite3.connect("test.db")
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute( "create table foo(DAS LONG PRIMARY KEY,lats real(4),lons real(4), times real(9) )" )
I'm not sure what comes next. Something along the lines of:
cmd = 'INSERT into foo values (?,?,?,?), ..."
cursor.execute(cmd)
How should I best build the SQL insert command given this data?
