Insert first 3 elements of 2D array into MySql Database
I have a list with data such as
infoarray[['1.', 'Name1', 'details1, '...', '...', '....'], ['2.', 'Name2, 'details2', '...', '...', '...'], ['3.', 'Name3', 'details3', '...', '...', '...']...]
I simply want to add the first 3 entries into a database table with the format
[PLACE],[NAME],[DETAILS]
Should be relatively simple. The data is already sorted, I would just simply have to append the first 3 elements of each inner array into my database. I tried the following code but I am getting an error.
//using pymysql
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.executemany("""
INSERT INTO
myTable
(place, name, details)
VALUES
(%s, %s, %s)
""", infoarray)
db.commit()
cur.close()
conn.close()
The error is "TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting"
which is assume means that my formatting is wrong. I am relatively new to python, so I am very familiar with the nuances of using pymysql.

Don't know if your array example is exactly as in your code, but in the example there are 5 elements per item, while on theinsertthere are only 3

Oops, wasn't too clear, there is additional data in the array, but I only want to add the first 3 items to my database. Everything else is not needed in the database.

This happens because you are formatting 3 values in your query, but passing more than 3 elements per arra yitem.
Try changing your executemany call to:
cur.executemany("""
INSERT INTO
myTable
(place, name, details)
VALUES
(%s, %s, %s)
""", [a[:3] for a in infoarray])
This way you will get only the first 3 elements in each array item and pass it to executemany

Issue solved! I assumed Python would automatically cut off the rest of the array since I am only using three elements. That was not the case. As a side note, I had a hard time debugging my execute command because without a proper conn.commit(), the execute statements did not stick to the database.
