SQLlite: Why is the insert SQL statement not updating the table in the database? - sqlite

Question

I have a Python Pysimplegui form that is connecting to a SQL Lite database.
The function to create and update a table called fitness_class is:
def createFitnessClassTable(conn):
'''
'''
SQL = """CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS fitness_class (
fitness_class_id integer PRIMARY KEY,
fitness_class_name text NOT NULL,
date_and_time text NOT NULL
);"""
sql_create = """INSERT OR IGNORE INTO fitness_class(fitness_class_id,fitness_class_name,date_and_time)
VALUES(?,?,?)"""
data = [
(1, 'Cardio', 'Thursday 35pm'),
(2, 'Pilates', 'Friday 911am'),
(3, 'Spin', 'Monday 2 4pm')
]
try:
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute(SQL)
c.close()
connection = conn.cursor()
connection.executemany(sql_create, data)
connection.close()
except Error as e:
# print(e)
sg.Popup(e)
return False
return True
When the function is called, this is creating the table and I am not getting any error messages. However, this is not saving the data (from the insert statement) either.
These are the rows related to calling the function
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
import PySimpleGUI as sg
from tkinter import *
import re
import sys
import PySimpleGUI as sg
import sqlite3
sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(__file__))
conn = dbconnect()
createFitnessClassTable(conn=conn)
conn.commit
conn.close()
I am confused because I have a similar function to create another table which is working correctly (i.e. creating the table if it doesn't exist and populating it with the data):
def createMembershipTable(conn):
'''
'''
SQL = """
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS membership (
membership_type_id integer PRIMARY KEY,
membership_type text NOT NULL,
weekly_amount real NOT NULL
);"""
sql_create = """INSERT OR IGNORE INTO membership(membership_type_id,membership_type,weekly_amount)
VALUES(?,?,?)"""
data = [(1, 'Basic', 10.00),
(2, 'Regular', 15.00),
(3, 'Premium', 20.00)
]
try:
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute(SQL)
c.close()
connection = conn.cursor()
connection.executemany(sql_create, data)
connection.close()
except Error as e:
print(e)
return False
return True
The lines to call that function:
conn = dbconnect()
createMembershipTable(conn)
conn.commit()
conn.close()
What am I missing? Why would the function createMembershipTable work as expected though the function createFitnessClassTable not work when they are both almost identical?

Answer 1

Just after posting (and 3 hours later), I realized the issue:
It was missing parenthesis after the conn.commit() in the createFitnessClassTable function call.
