Hi All,
First off I'm new to Python coming from a Java/C++ background. I've created a simple Python program that will connect to a database and query it returning the results from the querys. I receive a nasty syntax error message which I cannot spot in my code. Maybe one of ye can? Im running Python 2.7 and MySQL 5.6. Wingware is the IDE I'm using on a Windows 8.1 OS.
This is the error message:
ProgrammingError: (1064, "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''name', 'age')\n VALUES\n ('Mike',39),\n ('Michael',21),\n ('Angela', 21' at line 2")
Thanks in advance guys!
Dave.
