Insert Python Dictionary using Psycopg2

Insert Python Dictionary using Psycopg2

To insert data from a Python dictionary into a PostgreSQL database using the psycopg2 library, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install Psycopg2:

    If you haven't already, install the psycopg2 library using pip:

    pip install psycopg2

  2. Establish Database Connection:

    Connect to your PostgreSQL database using psycopg2:

    import psycopg2 connection = psycopg2.connect( database="your_database", user="your_user", password="your_password", host="your_host", port="your_port" ) cursor = connection.cursor()

    Replace the placeholders (your_database, your_user, your_password, your_host, your_port) with your actual database connection details.

  3. Prepare and Execute INSERT Query:

    Suppose you have a dictionary data_dict that you want to insert into a table named your_table. The keys of the dictionary correspond to column names, and the values correspond to the data to be inserted.

    data_dict = { 'column1': 'value1', 'column2': 'value2', # ... other columns and values } # Prepare INSERT query columns = ', '.join(data_dict.keys()) values = ', '.join(['%s'] * len(data_dict)) insert_query = f"INSERT INTO your_table ({columns}) VALUES ({values})" # Execute INSERT query with data from the dictionary cursor.execute(insert_query, tuple(data_dict.values())) # Commit the transaction connection.commit()

    Replace 'your_table' with the name of your actual table and adjust the dictionary keys and values accordingly.

  4. Close Connection:

    After executing the query and committing the changes, don't forget to close the cursor and the database connection:

    cursor.close() connection.close()

By following these steps, you can insert data from a Python dictionary into a PostgreSQL database using the psycopg2 library. Be sure to handle errors and exceptions appropriately in your code.
