sqlite3.InterfaceError: Error binding parameter 1 - probably unsupported type

Question

I am having this annoying error that I could not solve.. here is my function

def savePicture(pic): try:     connection=sqlite3.connect('/home/faris/Desktop/site/site.db')     db=connection.cursor()     print type(pic.user.profile_picture)     db.execute('INSERT INTO pictures (picture_id, caption, created_time, picture_url, link, username,full_name,profile_picture) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)',         [         pic.id,         pic.caption,         pic.created_time,         pic.get_standard_resolution_url(),         pic.link,         pic.user.username,         pic.user.full_name,         pic.user.profile_picture         ])     connection.commit()     connection.close() except sqlite3.IntegrityError:     print 'pic already exist' 

And here is my Table (Sqlite :D )

-- Describe PICTURES CREATE TABLE "pictures" ( "picture_id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, "caption" TEXT, "created_time" TEXT, "picture_url" TEXT, "link" TEXT, "username" TEXT, "full_name" TEXT, "profile_picture" TEXT ) 

And this is the error I am having,

<type 'str'> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/faris/Desktop/site/cron/pictures.py", line 15, in <module> savePicture(picture) File "/home/faris/Desktop/site/db.py", line 36, in savePicture pic.user.profile_picture sqlite3.InterfaceError: Error binding parameter 1 - probably unsupported type. 

As you see I have printed the type of the "pic.user.profile_picture" and it returned str I have also tried using these two functions ( unicode and str ) just to make sure that it is returning a string with no luck..

Any ideas? cheers :D

Ok, That is stupid lol

    pic.caption,     pic.created_time, 

are not TEXT type..but the error msg is saying the problem from pic.user.profile_picture. thus, if you have this error just check all the parameters :)
