Am trying to update sqlite3
db selected in tkinter treeview
, am able to insert the row of the treeview selected
in the entry
widget but when i update the record selected it updates all the records in the sqlite3
db. I need your help to update only the record selected in the treeview
but not all the records in the sqlite3
db.
from tkinter import ttk
import tkinter as tk
import sqlite3
def connect():
conn = sqlite3.connect("TRIAL.db")
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS profile(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
First TEXT, Surname TEXT)")
conn.commit()
conn.close()
def Update():
data1 = first_text.get()
data2 = surname_text.get()
for selected in tree.selection():
e1.insert(0, selected)
e2.insert(0, selected)
conn = sqlite3.connect("TRIAL.db")
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("UPDATE profile SET First=?, Surname=?", (data1, data2))
conn.commit()
conn.close()
def get_selected_row(event):
print(tree.selection()) # this will print the names of the selected rows
for nm in tree.selection():
content = tree.item(nm, 'values')
e1.insert(tk.END, content[1])
e2.insert(tk.END, content[2]) # this will insert in the entry after
connect() # this to create the db
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("400x400")
# this will hide the first column
tree= ttk.Treeview(root, column=("column1", "column2", "column3"),
show='headings')
tree.heading("#1", text="NUMBER")
tree.heading("#2", text="FIRST NAME")
tree.heading("#3", text="SURNAME")
tree.pack()
tree.bind("<<TreeviewSelect>>", get_selected_row)
first_text = tk.StringVar()
e1 = tk.Entry(root, textvariable=first_text)
e1.pack()
surname_text = tk.StringVar()
e2 = tk.Entry(root, textvariable=surname_text)
e2.pack()
b2 = tk.Button(text="EDIT PARTICULAR DATA", command=Update)
b2.pack(side=tk.BOTTOM)
root.mainloop()
The issue here is that you don't tell the db which record to update:
so all records are updated. You need to add the record id:
