I have a script that asks for input, and that input is then inserted into a table.
The next time the script is run, I'd like for it to tell the user what id the last input has.
The table looks like: id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, userid TEXT, domain TEXT, password TEXT, webserver TEXT, sqlserver TEXT
I was told I could use SELECT seq from SQLITE_SEQUENCE WHERE name='table_name' but it yields the following text: instead of the id from the last row.
Please note that I'm an extremely new Python / SQLite3 coder!
For your reference, the code sofar looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys, sqlite3
######## CHECK SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY ########
if os.name =='posix':
os.system("clear")#CLEAR SCREEN#
pass
else:
sys.exit("Operating System is not supported")
######## END CHECK SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY ########
######## CHECK IF SCRIPT IS RUN AS ROOT ########
#if os.geteuid() != 0:
# sys.exit("Script must be run as root")
#else:
# pass
####### END CHECK IF SCRIPT IS RUN AS ROOT ########
####### CREATE DATABASE AND CHECK IF TABLE EXISTS ##########
conn = sqlite3.connect("dat.db")
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute ('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS kunder
(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, userid TEXT, domain TEXT, password TEXT, webserver TEXT, sqlserver TEXT)''')
conn.commit()
print c.execute ("SELECT seq from SQLITE_SEQUENCE WHERE name='kunder'")
conn.close()
######## DONE CREATE DATABASE AND CHECK IF TABLE EXISTS #########

c.execute ("INSERT INTO kunder (userid, domain, password, webserver, sqlserver) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)", (userid, domain, password, webserver, sqlserver))
conn.commit()
conn.close()
####### DONE WITH DATABASE ##########

The SQL statement
SELECT max(id) FROM table_name
should give you the maximum id. If you're auto-incrementing then this would be the same as the last inserted.Edit: To get the actual value in python means reading it from the cursor:
fetchone()
returns the first row from the select statement as a tuple (unless a row_factory is used), sofetchone()[0]
will, in this case, return the first (and only) column in the first (and only) row, i.e. the max(id).See http://docs.python.org/2/library/sqlite3.html for more info.
