Executing Queries

SQL queries will typically be executed by calling execute() on a queryconstructed using the query-builder APIs (or by simply iterating over a queryobject in the case of a Select query). For cases where you wish toexecute SQL directly, you can use the Database.execute_sql() method.

db = SqliteDatabase('my_app.db')
db.connect()
 
# Example of executing a simple query and ignoring the results.
db.execute_sql("ATTACH DATABASE ':memory:' AS cache;")
 
# Example of iterating over the results of a query using the cursor.
cursor = db.execute_sql('SELECT * FROM users WHERE status = ?', (ACTIVE,))
for row in cursor.fetchall():
    # Do something with row, which is a tuple containing column data.
    pass
