I feel the compiler is getting confused with '%Y-%m-%d', I might be wrong. Could someone help me on how to avoid this error:
Type Error:not enough arguments for format string
The %s operator is put where the string is to be specified. The number of values you want to append to a string should be equivalent to the number specified in parentheses after the % operator at the end of the string value. The following Python code illustrates the way of performing string formatting.
To use formatted string literals, begin a string with f or F before the opening quotation mark or triple quotation mark. Inside this string, you can write a Python expression between { and } characters that can refer to variables or literal values.
It sees your %
signs and thinks you want to format the string. I believe you should be able to replace them with %%
to indicate that you want the character, not a format substitution.
You need to escape the %
:
with engine.connect() as con:
rs = con.execute("""
SELECT datediff(STR_TO_DATE(CONCAT(year,'-',month,'-',day), '%%Y-%%m-%%d') , current_date())
from TABLE
WHERE datediff(STR_TO_DATE(CONCAT(year,'-',month,'-',day), '%%Y-%%m-%%d') , current_date()) < 900
group by STR_TO_DATE(CONCAT(year,'-',month,'-',day), '%%Y-%%m-%%d');
""")
%
is a reserved character in MySQL (wildcard).
