INSERT INTO SQL Server runPreUpdate Error - object has no attribute

This project is running in Ignition Perspective employing SQL Server as the supporting database.
I've been struggling with this obscure error when trying to execute a query in an event script:

def runAction(self, event):
	
	userID = self.session.props.auth.user.id
	tstamp = system.date.now()
	table = self.parent.parent.parent.getChild("Table")
	data = table.props.data
	columns = table.props.columns
	txID = system.db.beginTransaction(database="SQLEXPRESS", timeout = 5000)
	
	try:
		for row in data:
			Id = row["Id"]["value"]
			removeMe = row["removeMe"]
			updateMe = row["updateMe"]

# 	insert
			if Id is None:
				
				system.perspective.print("Attempt Insert")
				payload = {"status":"Attempt Insert"}
				system.perspective.sendMessage("Status", payload)								
				
				temp = []
				args = []

				for col in columns:
					if col.field == "Id":
						pass
					elif col.field == "ActionUserID":
						args.append(userID)
						temp.append(col.field)
					elif col.field == "ActionTimeStamp":
						args.append(tstamp)
						temp.append(col.field)
					elif col.field == "Segment":
						args.append('MIS')
						temp.append(col.field)					
					elif col.field == "ActionStatus":
						args.append('Active')
						temp.append(col.field)		
					elif col.field == "ActionType":
						args.append('Add')
						temp.append(col.field)
					else:
						args.append(row[col.field]["value"])
						temp.append(col.field)
					
				columnString = ",".join(temp)
				valueString = ",".join(["?" for col in temp])
											
				query = """
					INSERT INTO OEMOTD_Action 
					({}) VALUES ({})
					""".format(columnString, valueString)

				system.perspective.print("query: " + query)
				system.perspective.print("args: " + str(args))
				
				system.db.runPreUpdate(query, args, tx=txID)

	except Exception as e:
		system.db.rollbackTransaction(txID)
		system.perspective.print(message = "rollback tx \n{}".format(e))
		payload = {"status":"Rollback TX - FAIL"}
		system.perspective.sendMessage("Status", payload)		
	
	finally:
		system.db.closeTransaction(txID)
		system.perspective.print(message = "close tx")
#		payload = {"status":"Close TX - SUCCESS"}
		system.perspective.sendMessage("Status", payload)		
		self.parent.parent.parent.getChild("Table").refreshBinding("props.data")

Below are the results of the print statements to the console:

Thanks for any insight about the cryptic error 'object has no attribute'. Other parts of the code that accomplish UPDATE work just fine.

Typo!

OMG... sighs... staring at this far too long... indeed the proper call should be:

system.db.runPrepUpdate(query, args, tx=txID)

Thank You! Transistor... brilliant

I've just noticed - you even posted it in the title! Leave it there!

Don't forget to mark the answer which answers your question as "Solution".

One more thing: database operations don't raise python exceptions. You'll need to catch java errors instead.

from java.lang import Throwable

try:
    database stuff...
except Throwable as e:
    message = e.cause
    system.db.rollbackTransaction(tx)
...
