I'm trying to insert a datetime value into a MS SQL Server table using pyodbc. If I do it manually, something like:
cursor.execute("""insert into currentvalue(value1,currentdatetime)
values(55,'2014-06-27 16:42:48.533')""")
I have no problem at all, but when I try to do:
currenttime = str(datetime.datetime.now())
cursor.execute("""insert into currentvalue(value1,currentdatetime)
values(55,"""+ currenttime+")")
I got this error:
SQL server Incorrect syntax near '07' which i think is the number after the date and starting the time.
Also I tried this:
currenttime = "'"+str(datetime.datetime.now())+"'"
and now this error comes up:
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
Remove the datetime to string conversion and instead use parameters:
....
cursor.execute("insert into currentvalue (value1,currentdatetime) values(?,?)",
(value1, datetime.datetime.now()))
....
