The connection is also used to issue INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE commands to the data source. If desired, parameters can be used with these statements. The provider does not support transactions. Any SQL statements executed by this connector will affect the data source immediately. The commit() method on the connection object should not be used.

Insert

The following example adds a new record to the table:

cmd = "INSERT INTO GoalHeadings (GoalHeadingId, GoalHeadingId) VALUES (?, ?)"
params = ["Jon Doe", "John"]
cur = conn.execute(cmd, params)
print("Records affected: ", cur.rowcount)

Update

The following example modifies an existing record in the table:

cmd = "UPDATE GoalHeadings SET GoalHeadingId = ? WHERE GoalHeadingId = ?"
params = ["John", "'test'"]
cur = conn.execute(cmd, params)
print("Records affected: ", cur.rowcount)

Delete

The following example removes an existing record from the table:

cmd = "DELETE FROM GoalHeadings WHERE GoalHeadingId = ?"
params = ["'test'"]
cur = conn.execute(cmd, params)
print("Records affected: ", cur.rowcount)
