mysql.connector.errors.ProgrammingError: 1064 (4200): You have an error in your SQL syntax;

Question

I am attempting to insert data into a MySQL database. I am using python 2.7 and I am using the mysql.connector.

My error is:

mysql.connector.errors.ProgrammingError: 1064 (4200): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '%s) at line 1.

This indicates a error in my code where I attempt to insert my variable np (VALUES (%s)");). np is a "noun-phrase" such as a "skate board".

import mysql.connector
from textblob import TextBlob

cnx = mysql.connector.connect(user='XXX', password='XXX',
                              host='XXXXX',
                              database='XXXX')

cursor = cnx.cursor(buffered=True)

Latest = ("SELECT * FROM SentAnalysis")
cursor.execute(Latest)

for row in cursor.fetchall():
    SentText = row[2]
    blob = TextBlob(SentText)
    for np in blob.noun_phrases:
        print(np)
        SQLInsertCmd = ("INSERT INTO TestNounPhrase (NPhrase) VALUES (%s)")
        cursor.execute(SQLInsertCmd,np)

cnx.commit()
cursor.close()
cnx.close()

The example from the manual is https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-example-cursor-transaction.html. e.g.

 "VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s)")

I can't see a difference. This error is also discussed in detail here : How can I fix MySQL error #1064? Other similar examples on stackoverflow have been linked to reserved words, Redundant comas .But looking at these examples I can't spot an obvious error.

Any suggestions on where I am going wrong would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

I think the issue here might be the semicolon at the end of the query.

Have a good day.
