I want to be able to add a row to a table / SQL database. I have made what I am trying to do more basic to try and get that working before I go any further. I have a textbox where I enter the description, and I am taking the last part ID in the SQL database and adding 1 to it for the next part ID. What I have works for the table / dataset portion of it, but I am having problems updating the SQL database. The following is my code on the button “actionPerformed” event
table = event.source.parent.getComponent('Table')
partname = event.source.parent.getComponent('partName').text
nextpartid = system.db.runScalarQuery("SELECT MAX(`part_id`) + 1 FROM parts")
table.data = system.dataset.addRow(table.data, [nextpartid, partname, partdesc, user,station, assigndate ,None ,])
system.db.runUpdateQuery("INSERT INTO parts (part_id, part_name,) VALUES (%d, %f)" % (nextpartid, partname))
The error I am getting is “Error executing script for event: actionPerformed on component: add.”
I am basically copying the exact same code snippet from the manual. if I run the SQL query on the database query browser it works (with fixed values instead of variable).
Any advice to get this working? Should I be going in a different direction? It seems a bit awkward updating the table and the SQL database separately.
