Updating fields on a Microsoft SQL Table using pyodbc - Python

Question

I have a table on sql with the following data:

name  location
sarah   
dave     
bob     
rover
dave
bob
emma
john
prash

I have some data coming in that gives me location details of all these people. The locations could either be:

name_data  location_data
sarah          GB 
dave           US
bob            FR
rover          IN
dave           US
bob            FR
emma           ES
john           NI

How do I update the database so I can include the locations relative to the name? I tried the following, but it didn't seem to work:

cursor.execute("UPDATE "+table_name+"location) values (?)",location_data"WHERE name like" "'"name_data"'")

Answer 1

name=input("Enter name:")

loc = input("Enter Location:")  
cursor = cnxn.cursor() 
SQLCommand = ("UPDATE {table_name} SET location_data=?  WHERE name_data ="+ name+" ")
Location = [loc]
cursor.execute(SQLCommand,Location)
