Python - Sqlite3 - Select query with database double dot operator











up vote

I'm trying to pull a SELECT query from within the python 3.6.5 code using sqlite3 in PyCharm.
The query has the double dot operator. Here is a sample code:



#!/usr/bin/python
import sqlite3
connection = sqlite3.connect('ddbserver')
c = connection.cursor()
sql_query = """ select * from database..tablename """
res = c.execute(sql_query)


When I run the script, it throws the following error:



sqlite3.OperationalError: near ".": syntax error


The same query runs fine on SQL Server Management Studio, as well as in an xml file.



I've tried using the full path to the table as well i.e.



select * from database.schemaname.tablename


But it throws the same error.



Any sort of help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  • What is a "double dot" operator supposed to do? That's obviously not valid syntax for sqlite.

  • database.schemaname.tablename is also not valid sqlite syntax, btw.

  • the double dot operator pulls the default schema for a table. I'm relatively new to this sqlite3. I use the double dot in the SSMS in routine so I copied the same query into the string
