Following the SQLite3 series,this post is about some advanced topics when we are working with the SQLite3 module. If you missed the first part,you can find ithere.
Using SQLite's date and datetime Types
Sometimes we need to insert and retrieve somedate anddatetime types in our SQLite3 database. When you execute the insert query with a date or datetime object,thesqlite3 module calls the default adapter and converts them to an ISO format. When you execute a query in order to retrieve those values,51); white-space:nowrap">sqlite3module is going to return a string object:

The problem is that if you inserted a date object in the database,most of the time you are expecting a date object when you retrieve it,not a string object. This problem can be solved passingPARSE_DECLTYPES
andPARSE_COLNAMES
to theconnect
method:

)
)
)
>>>
# Retrieve the inserted object
)
)
)
# The date is 2013-04-14 and the datatype is <class 'datetime.date'>
)
Changing the connect method,the database now is returning a date object. Thesqlite3
module uses the column's type to return the correct type of object. So,if we need to work with adatetime
object,we must declare the column in the table as atimestamp
type:
10
11
)
# Insert a datetime object
now
datetime
now
)
(
now
)
)
>>>
# Retrieve the inserted object
)
)
)
# The date is 2013-04-14 16:29:11.666274 and the datatype is <class 'datetime.datetime'>
In case you have declared a column type asDATE
,but you need to work with a

c
)
# We are going to insert a datetime object into a DATE column
now
)
c
)
db
)
# Retrieve the inserted object
'''SELECT created_at as "created_at [timestamp]" FROM example'''
)
Usingas "created_at [timestamp]"
in the SQL query will make the adapter to parse the object correctly.
Insert Multiple Rows with SQLite's executemany
Sometimes we need to insert a sequence of objects in the database,51); white-space:nowrap">sqlite3module provides theexecutemany
method to execute a SQL query against a sequence.

c
'''CREATE TABLE users(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,name TEXT,phone TEXT)'''
)
users
[
'John'
'5557241'
'Adam'
'5547874'
'Jack'
'5484522'
'Monthy'
' 6656565'
)
]
c
executemany
'''INSERT INTO users(name,phone) VALUES(?,?)'''
users
)
db
)
# Print the users
c
'''SELECT * FROM users'''
)
for
row
in
c
:
(
row
)
db
)
Please note that each element of the sequence must be a tuple.
Execute SQL File with SQLite's executescript
Theexecute
method only allows you to execute a single SQL sentence. If you need to execute several different SQL sentences you should useexecutescript
method:
# Import the SQLite3 module
sqlite3
db
)
)
script
CREATE TABLE accounts(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,description TEXT);
INSERT INTO users(name,phone) VALUES ('John','5557241'),
('Adam','5547874'),('Jack','5484522');'''
executescript
(
script
)
# Print the results
c
)
:
)
db
)
If you need to read the script from a file:
4
fd
open
'myscript.sql'
'r'
)
script
fd
read
)
c
)
fd
)
Please remember that it is a good idea to surround your code with atry/except/else
clause in order to catch the exceptions. To learn more about thetry/except/else
keywords,checkout theCatching Python Exceptions – The try/except/else keywordsarticle.
Defining SQLite SQL Functions
Sometimes we need to use our own functions in a statement,specially when we are inserting data in order to accomplish some specific task. A good example of this is when we are storing passwords in the database and we need to encrypt those passwords:
14
15
sqlite3
#Import the SQLite3 module
hashlib
def
encrypt_password
(
password
)
:
# Do not use this algorithm in a real environment
encrypted_pass
hashlib
sha1
(
password
encode
'utf-8'
hexdigest
)
return
encrypted_pass
db
)
# Register the function
db
create_function
'encrypt'
1
encrypt_password
)
)
c
)
user
'johndoe@example.com'
'12345678'
)
c
'''INSERT INTO users(email,password) VALUES (?,encrypt(?))'''
user
)
Thecreate_function
takes 3 parameters:name
(the name used to call the function inside the statement),the number of parameters the function expects (1 parameter in this case) and a callable object (the function itself). To use our registered function,we called it usingencrypt()
in the statement.
Finally,PLEASE use a true encryption algorithm when you are storing passwords!
