I have been trying to return the values from two different tables, but can't seem to get the c.execute(query) function to return what I want it to. Currently my code will return the first c.fetchone()[0], but the second fetchone()[5] gives an error that it's out of range, which means it is probably still trying to get data from my 'clients' table which does not have 6 columns. I don't think I fully understand how MySQLdb works it's magic, but can't find any good examples of multi-table queries. Here is my code snippet below! Thanks!
c, conn = connection()
#check if already exists
x = c.execute("SELECT * FROM clients WHERE email = (%s)", (thwart(email),))
if int(x) > 0:
flash("That email already has an account, please try a new email or sign in.")
return render_template('register.html', form=form)
else:
c.execute("INSERT INTO clients (email, phone, password) VALUES (%s, %s, %s)", (thwart(email), thwart(phone), thwart(password)))
c.execute("SELECT cid FROM clients WHERE email = (%s)", (thwart(email),))
clientcid = c.fetchone()[0]
c.execute("INSERT INTO cpersonals (first_name, last_name, address, zip) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s)", (thwart(first_name), thwart(last_name), thwart(address), czip))
c.execute("SELECT reg_date FROM cpersonals WHERE cid = (%s)", (clientcid,))
reg_date = c.fetchone()[5]
rating = c.execute("SELECT rating FROM clients WHERE email = (%s)", (thwart(email),))
conn.commit()
flash("Thanks for registering!")
c.close()
conn.close()
Your query is SELECT reg_date FROM cpersonals .... You are only selecting one column. The reason fetchone()[5] fails is, there is no 6th column in the fetched record. Try 0 in place of 5.
Why were you using 5?
