I HAVE ADDED MY OWN ANSWER THAT WORKS BUT OPEN TO IMPROVEMENTS
After seeing a project at datanitro. I took on getting a connection to MySQL (they use SQLite) and I was able to import a small test table into Excel from MySQL.
Inserting new updated data from the Excel sheet was this next task and so far I can get one row to work like so...
import MySQLdb
db = MySQLdb.connect("xxx","xxx","xxx","xxx")
c = db.cursor()
c.execute("""INSERT INTO users (id, username, password, userid, fname, lname)
VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s);""",
(Cell(5,1).value,Cell(5,2).value,Cell(5,3).value,Cell(5,4).value,Cell(5,5).value,Cell(5,6).value,))
db.commit()
db.close()
...but attempts at multiple rows will fail. I suspect either issues while traversing rows in Excel. Here is what I have so far...
import MySQLdb
db = MySQLdb.connect(host="xxx.com", user="xxx", passwd="xxx", db="xxx")
c = db.cursor()
c.execute("select * from users")
usersss = c.fetchall()
updates = []
row = 2 # starting row
while True:
data = tuple(CellRange((row,1),(row,6)).value)
if data[0]:
if data not in usersss: # new record
updates.append(data)
row += 1
else: # end of table
break
c.executemany("""INSERT INTO users (id, username, password, userid, fname, lname) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)""", updates)
db.commit()
db.close()
...as of now, I don't get any errors, but my new line is not added (id 3). This is what my table looks like in Excel...
The database holds the same structure, minus id 3. There has to be a simpler way to traverse the rows and pull the unique content for INSERT, but after 6 hours trying different things (and 2 new Python books) I am going to ask for help.
If I run either...
print '[%s]' % ', '.join(map(str, updates))
or
print updates
my result is
[]
So this is likely not passing any data to MySQL in the first place.
LATEST UPDATE AND WORKING SCRIPT
Not exactly what I want, but this has worked for me...
c = db.cursor()
row = 2
while Cell(row,1).value != None:
c.execute("""INSERT IGNORE INTO users (id, username, password, userid, fname, lname)
VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s);""",
(CellRange((row,1),(row,6)).value))
row = row + 1
