@mrjj
my code is invalid syntax

query = ("UPDATE test_table SET name = '%s' WHERE age = %i"%str(data),%int(num))

[mrjj]

@Gelo
Yes :)
You should read the docs and look at the samples.
There are many examples on the net for pyt.

@mrjj i am using MySql

[mrjj]

@Gelo

query_str = 'SELECT %s FROM track %s'%(select_string, where_string)

Thats how they do for the select. You can do the same for UPDATE

@mrjj still invalid sysntax

[mrjj]

@Gelo

Tons of samples.
Some must be valid.

Most of this is not Qt related but python syntax.

@mrjj if convert int to string? is that valid to MySql ?

query = ("UPDATE test_table SET name = '%s' WHERE age = '%s'"%str(data,data1))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#12>", line 1, in <module>
query = ("UPDATE test_table SET name = '%s' WHERE age = '%s'"%str(data,data1))
TypeError: decoding str is not supported

@mrjj i only found dynamic input for Sqlite not MySql

[mrjj]

Hi
Use str for the int NOT for all of it

query = ("UPDATE test_table SET name = '%s' WHERE age = '%s'"%(data,str(THE INT)))

str convert to string. but it only takes one parameter.

@mrjj do you think it will accept by MySql? in my variable type int ?

UPDATE test_table SET name = 'aaaaa' WHERE age = '10101'??

[mrjj]

@Gelo
Yes it should accept int if the table have it.
if age is int. The table defines types for each column so age have to be declared as int.

@mrjj can you explain me this one?

query = ("UPDATE test_table SET name = '%s' WHERE age = '%s'"%(data,str(THE INT)))

[mrjj]

@Gelo

well THE INT should be an int variable

query = ("UPDATE test_table SET name = '%s' WHERE age = '%s'"%(data,str(data2)))

data2 is then the int

Other that that the SQL says ,
Change the value of name for all where age is data2
