Python-Data truncated and spaces are added between

Question

Upon inserting the data into the MS SQL Server DB, my values are getting truncated and single extra space is added in between. For eg:-

HomeShop18 is saved as H o m e s. It is truncated as well and space is also included.

But when I do select * from table where col= 'Homes' it shows the data. What is the problem? How can I insert the data into the SQL Server DB?

Here's what I'm currently doing? PS : I have read threads on SO pointing out to increase the size and TDS version. I've tried it all but still the inserting entry is truncated.

def post_data(data):
    os.environ['TDSVER'] = '8.0'

    data = (
        data['AWB_Number'], data['Weight'], data['Length'], data['Height'],
        data['Width'], data['Customer_Name'], datetime.datetime.strptime(data['Scan_Time'][:19] , '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'),data['Series_Flag']
        )

    print data # ('40642847766', '0.011', '1.1', '1.1', '1.1', 'flipkart', datetime.datetime(2014, 8, 14, 11, 14, 53), 'True')
con_string = 'DSN=%s;UID=%s;PWD=%s;DATABASE=%s;' % (dsn, user, password, database)
    cnxn = pyodbc.connect(con_string)

    cursor = cnxn.cursor()
    cursor.execute("insert into data_AutoScale_DELHUB(AWB_Number,Weight,Length,Width,Height,Customer_Name,Scan_Time,Series_Flag) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)" , data[0],data[1],data[2],data[3],data[4],data[5],data[6],data[7])
    cursor.commit()

    cnxn.close()

Answer 1

Be careful of the order of parameters. It seems 'Height' and 'Width' are inverted in the query and in the parameters.

Check if the order of your parameters in execute() is the same as

(AWB_Number,Weight,Length,Width,Height,Customer_Name,Scan_Time,Series_Flag)
