Guys, I'm stumped here. Trying to retrieve a row from mysql using MySQLdb, I receive the number of matching rows found, not the data itself.
here's the code:
def getKbd(kb_num):
query="SELECT kbd_name, kbd_data, kbd_ps FROM kbd_ WHERE kbd_number = %d " % kb_num
a = c.execute(query)
return a
print getKb(3)
the output is 1 (since one row matches. if I do sELECT * I get the number of rows in db.
here's the same query in mysql:
mysql> SELECT kbd_name, kbd_data, kbd_ps FROM kbd_ WHERE kbd_number = 3 ;
+-------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------+
| kbd_name | kbd_data | kbd_passes |
+-------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------+
| kbd name number 3 | kbd data for number 3 in here | 0 |
+-------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
What I want to receive as output is a list or tuple with something like
