cursor.execute("INSERT INTO incident (priority) VALUES ('4')")
cnxn.commit()
affected = cursor.rowcount

UPDATE

To retrieve updates:

cursor.execute("UPDATE incident SET priority = '4' WHERE category = 'request'")
cnxn.commit()
affected = cursor.rowcount

DELETE

To delete updates:

cursor.execute("DELETE FROM incident WHERE sys_id = 'S'")
cnxn.commit()
affected = cursor.rowcount
