Any other way to import data files(like .csv) in python sqlite3 module ? [not insert one by one]
executemany, import, python, sqlite
Solution
You could insert at one shot using executemany command instead of inserting one by one
Lets say I have users.csv with following contents
"Hugo","Boss"
"Calvin","Klein"
and basically open with csv module and pass it to .executemany function
import csv,sqlite3
persons= csv.reader(open("users.csv"))
con = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
con.execute("create table person(firstname, lastname)")
con.executemany("insert into person(firstname, lastname) values (?, ?)", persons)
for row in con.execute("select firstname, lastname from person"):
print row
#(u'Hugo', u'Boss')
#(u'Calvin', u'Klein')
Problem
In sqlite3's client CLI, there is " .import file TABLE_name " to do it. But, I do not want to install sqlite3 to my server at present. In python sqlite3 module, we can creat and edit a DB. But, I have not found a way to import data-file to a TABLE, except inserting rows one by one. Any other way?
