Inserting JSON data to sqlite - OperationalError: unrecognized token "{"

Question

I'm doing something like this in my code:

import sqlite3
...
sqlString=company['name']+","+simplejson.dumps(info)
cur.execute("INSERT INTO companyInfo VALUES("+sqlString+")")

but I'm getting the following error: cur.execute("INSERT INTO companyBlobs VALUES("+valueString+")") sqlite3.OperationalError: unrecognized token: "{"

I guess this is a problem with the escaping of the JSON data, but not sure how to fix it. Ideas?

Answer 1

try to use parametrized query:

sqlString=company['name']+","+simplejson.dumps(info)
cur.execute("INSERT INTO companyInfo VALUES (?)", (sqlString, ))

this will automatically escape your inputs.
