Using a variable in a multilinestring in Python [closed]-CodePudding

I'm trying to put an sql query in a string using pandasql pulled from AI's GPT-3. the query is SELECT * FROM netflix WHERE release_year = 2020 AND type = 'Movie' AND listed_in LIKE '%Horror% What i have at the moment is this:

sql_query = "* FROM netflix WHERE release_year = 2020 AND type = 'Movie' AND listed_in LIKE '%Horror%"
q = "SELECT"   sql_query

print(pysqldf(q))

however it keeps throwing up the error unrecognized token: "'%Horror%"

I'm not really sure how to get around this?

CodePudding user response：

You have several typo errors in your query string. Here is a working query:

sql_query = "* FROM netflix WHERE release_year = 2020 AND type = 'Movie' AND listed_in LIKE '%Horror%'"
q = "SELECT "   sql_query

You need a space after the SELECT keyword, and also what follows LIKE must be in single quotes.

your are missing ' in the end of %Horror%

sql_query = "* FROM netflix WHERE release_year = 2020 AND type = 'Movie' AND listed_in LIKE '%Horror%'"
q = "SELECT"   sql_query

print(pysqldf(q))
