I have 2 list
c_name = ['departmentid', 'name', 'groupname', 'modifieddate']
d_type =['integer', 'character varying', 'character varying', 'timestamp without time zone']
And I would like to create a SQL query for creating a tables
CREATE TABLE MY_TABLE(
'departmentid' 'integer',
'name' 'character varying',
'groupname' 'character varying',
'modifieddate' 'timestamp without time zone'
);
Thank you for your help
If all you want to do is get the SQL command as text, you can do this with a combination of string concatenation (or formatting) and for loops.
If you want to "connect" to a database and execute the queries, read up on "database connectors" for the relevant database (such as MySQL, SQLite, SQLPlus etc).
Edit
Here's one way to do it. I don't want to just give you an answer without an explanation, but I hope this is self explanatory. Feel free to ask anything confusing.
c_name = ['departmentid', 'name', 'groupname', 'modifieddate']
d_type =['integer', 'character varying', 'character varying', 'timestamp without time zone']
sql_query = "CREATE TABLE MY_TABLE(\n"
for column, datatype in zip(c_name, d_type):
sql_query += f"\t\"{column}\" \"{datatype}\",\n"
sql_query += ");"
print(sql_query)
The zip() function helps deal with two (or more) iterables simultaneously without using range() and len() to create a counter.
