I'm attempting to execute some sql using the mysql-flask python extension. The below code always returns a long for some reason.
stringify = lambda x : '"' + x + '"'
if request.method == 'POST':
sql = "select * from users where username = " + stringify(request.form['username'])
user = g.db.cursor().execute(sql).fetchall()
Error:
user = g.db.cursor().execute(sql).fetchall()
AttributeError: 'long' object has no attribute 'fetchall'
Why doesn't this return a result set?
Also, I can execute insert statements just fine.
FIX (ANSWER):
def get_data(g, sql):
cursor = g.db.cursor()
cursor.execute(sql)
data = [dict((cursor.description[idx][0], value) for idx, value in enumerate(row)) for row in cursor.fetchall()]
return data
