I need to create a database using info from a csv file, format:
name,house,birth
example:
Adelaide Murton,Slytherin,1982
Adrian Pucey,Slytherin,1977
Then I need to export to the database after splitting the name in the following format:
first | middle | last | house | birth
Below is my code; it exports like 1st row only first name, 2nd row only middle name, 3d row only last name, 4th row only house , etc. and everything else appears NULL. I end up having 792 rows instead of 40 in my database. Output image
import csv
import sys
import cs50
db = cs50.SQL("sqlite:///students.db")
if len(sys.argv) != 2:
sys.exit("Usage: import.py file.csv")
with open(sys.argv[1],'r') as f:
reader = csv.DictReader(f)
for row in reader:
x = row["name"].split()
db.execute("INSERT INTO students (first, middle, last, house, birth) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)", x[0], x[1] if len(x)==3 else None, x[2] if len(x)==3 else x[1], row["house"], row["birth"])
row
andx
in the loop what you expect them to be?row
andx
are what they should be.
