SQL/CREATETABLES.SQL

No fussing!

SQL: THE RIGHT LANGUAGE FOR THE JOB?

Set the customers business name to Billy Bob
No!

UPDATE customers SET businessName = Billy Bob WHERE id = 23 cursor.execute( UPDATE customers SET businessName = %(businessName)s WHERE id = %(id)s , { businessName:Billy Bob, id:23 } ) customer.businessName = Billy Bob

Hell No!

Yes!
