[mod_python] error while inserting data

Construct the sql query and print it out before you do the cursor.execute. Then you can see what is wrong with the query that causes it to fail in Oracle. eg:

sql = "INSERT INTO PERSONALDETAILS (firstname,middlename,lastname) VALUES (%s, %s, %s)"%(fname,mname,lname)
writeln(sql)
# now you will see the bad SQL statement!

Possibly you have no value for one of the cgi variables because of leaving the form field blank (such as no middle name), which will cause the function to fail because that variable will not exist. You must be sure you have default values set for your cgi variable in the function definition eg: def index(req, fname="", mname='"", lname="") so that all variables will exist and have valid string definitions even if the user does not enter anything into that field on the html form. Also, maybe you misspelled one of the form variable names in the html form. We cannot tell from this snippet.

  Hi this is my code snippet.

            mname = req.field('mname')
            lname = req.field('lname')
            dbconnection = cx_Oracle.connect("myuser", "mypassword", "mydatabase")
            cursor = dbconnection.cursor()
            cursor.arraysize = 50
            self.writeln("hello")
            cursor.execute("INSERT INTO PERSONALDETAILS     (firstname,middlename,lastname) VALUES (%s, %s, %s)", (fname,mname,lname))
   dbconnection.commit()

  While executing i am getting the following error 

  cursor.execute("INSERT INTO PERSONALDETAILS(firstname,middlename,lastname) VALUES (%s, %s, %s)", (fname,mname,lname))
