Python SQLite Tutorial: Complete Overview - Creating a Database, Table, and Running Queries

In this Python SQLite tutorial, we will be going over a complete introduction to the sqlite3 built-in module within Python. SQLite allows us to quickly get up and running with databases, without spinning up larger databases like MySQL or Postgres. We will be creating a database, creating a table, insert, select, update, and delete data. Let's get started...

thank you so much dear for your kindness!!god bless you!!!

[@MrMitror]

Thanks man

[@VetsFleetNY]

You're the best jacob

[@michaelfresco2769]

You really cannot ask for a better tutorial than this. Absolutely fantastic. I like it how Corey pickups up the pace a bit at the end, and also gives us some practical functions, which show you how you'd use this in real life.

[@scienceblossom6197]

This is a 28 minute video in which every minute (or every second in 28:43 to be more precise) has been used on amazing non-BS stuff. Thank you Corey your teaching levels are outstandingly higher than everyone else I've learned something from!

[@khan5195]

That was exactly any newbie Pythonian could ask ! I feel like I have completed my whole uni semester in 29 minutes. Thanks mate !

[@5starkarma]

I am usually shocked if the best Python tutorials on, well, anything, can't be found on your page. You are an amazing teacher with great talent. Thank you for all your work.

[@Luis_Fernando_Pouliot_Madero]

You teach so many things in only 29 minutes, so clear. Voice, image, sound, simplicity, direct to matter. Great! ☑☑☑☑☑

[@davidschroeder2732]

Another outstanding presentation from Corey. One of the VERY BEST teachers on the internet.

[@PaoPaw098]

My man teaching not only how to do the basic stuff but also what we can apply on a real world project (security, best practices etc.) you're the best.

[@chiragpalan9780]

Nothing can be better than learning Sqlite3 at 2.30AM without any prior knowladge of SQL !!!!!

[@Kurende_SA]

lol i can relate! 2:14AM

[@BeeBee--]

I had to pause this vid midway to watch your OOP Tutorials 1 and 2. Your videos are consistently well-made that I could bounce off different tutorials and easily integrate them with the current lesson. Kudos!

[@IyamwhoIyam]

You are very clear and your approach is spot on. Keep it up! We need you!

[@basetroll1627]

No book can replace your fantastic videos! For years(embarrassing) I've put all my data into huge arrays because I had horror of databases. With your video, so clear and understandable presented, I will now dive into it.

[@aarongrant1184]

DEAR COREY SCHAFER, HOW DO YOU ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS SAVE MY DAY? thanks again!

[@drakZes]

I LOVE YOU, finally someone who explains their code and not only code so we can actually understand it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@paymeintrident]

Couldn’t understand this topic for the life of me… and you come along and speak clearly and in simple terms and it makes so much sense !

[@ahmedl8574]

Dude is a literal legend, ain't been this amazed in agesss by a tutorial

[@Unfettered_Braid]

5 years later and this was still amazing! Thank you!

[@PedroHenrique-no1sr]

this is the best sqlite3 tutorial on youtube, the way you explain things are very clear and easy to understand. Great job

[@justforwork5343]

omg i love this, after searching for more than 2 hours i finally found an awesome tutorial

[@kaduflutist]

An excellent video and python/sqlite3 teaching technique which when followed along you end up getting the same result as the coach's. I took it on a STEP-BY-STEP basis and it worked perfectly here. Thank you very much, Corey!

[@amyst815]

Simply one of the best Python tutorials out there, so good it forced me to put my first comment out here :) ... thank you Corey!

[@devrubic]

One of the best tutorials ever. After a long time I wasn't confused on learning something new and wasn't also bored to leave it! AWESOME

[@abigailmacdonald3698]

A little floored by how informative your tutorials are. Thanks a lot!

[@omerfarukmerey]

I am studying computer science in a crazy school where they teach you a little bit of something and give you huge homeworks. You have helped me a lot with this video. Thank you so much!

[@ethanbautista6344]

You are literally better than all professors combined in my entire school. Thank you for this knowledge sir

[@elliotwilens4859]

Best SQLite tutorial on the internet! I've been searching for days & finally understand it. Thank you

[@allansifuna8844]

Your tutorials are incredible they have seen me grow from a noobie to advanced

[@adityapaithon6499]

Checkout my channel too for some cool Python tutorials

[@VictorMongi]

This tutorial is a Gem, seriously.... God Bless You Corey... keep making great stuff mannnn....

[@mayankinani2158]

Best place to find out about python modules and actually understanding them.

[@imnodl]

Thank you so much for making my life so much easier, I had no idea you could use triple quotes to write multiple line strings without having to use '/n'. This greatly improved my code's readability. Also, thanks a bunch for all of these free tutorials, they're absolutely fantastic!

[@vishalraj3762]

Awesome video!! Short, concise & to the point. I never thought learning SQLite would be so much easy and fun with Python. Great Job, Corey!! Keep posting videos like this.

[@tntcaptain9]

Loved the tutorial, especially the part where you made the functions for performing same SQL operations again and again

[@benignexistence4558]

Haven't even watched it yet but I thank you for not making it a combo tutorial with SQL. Too many tutorials have too much going on, thanks for employing the KISS method the way it should be. edit: posting this comment the first time it just said "returned error" how fitting

[@Brandon-bm7hp]

I love your videos They do not turn into a big mess like others they get straight to the point like it should be!

[@oleggaidukov4927]

you are the God from pedagogical IT universe, man

[@stevenmccarther5836]

Was looking for a video to help me use SQLITE with Jupyter . I learned a lot with this video , Thanks Mr. Schafer

[@Keval_ek_insaan]

You are amazing Teacher Corey! Your teaching skills are really appreciative. One of the best videos for python. Thanks you soo much.

[@-sahlamahla2270]

You're a hero! I love the way you explain things. Thanks a lot

[@moadhoueslati6838]

From tunisia ???

[@KleinmeisterPang]

Great video, I am using Python with SQLite at work and educated myself with Coreys Videos,.. thanks man :)

[@vitisanity]

Excellent teaching skill. I understand how to mix class tuples and database at the same time. Many thanks.

[@basetroll1627]

Me too, excellent explanation.

[@giahmed82]

Excellent step by step explanation. Really love the way you have explained. Hoping to watch more of your videos.

[@jerwinsamuel]

Clear choice of words. Your teaching skills are amazing.

[@OrientalMelodies2010]

Your way of explaining the subject is outstanding!

[@jjatuljain]

This one is one of the best tutorials I have gone through.. Thanks Corey !!

[@PavelSTL]

I have access to a class conducted by Python professionals that my company paid for. I couldn't do it, I said screw it and I came here, this is so much better.

[@timo_b3]

all this years and no one told me that there are serverless databases. thank you

[@sairajdas6692]

God gifted teaching skills . Wow thank you .

[@shanerigsby9030]

So glad I found this video as my first look at SQLite--perfect level of instruction. Hoping to find a bunch more from you.

[@zeinelmokhtar4105]

While True: Print(" Corey Schafer, YOU ARE MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. Thank You Very Much ")

[@rafalelele]

Mr. Shafer, thank you very much for your tutorial. It's so clear and enlightening. I rewrote one of my script using SQLite to store records and query, which is more efficient than my previous approach (to store data in excel via openpyxl and search cell from the whole worksheet). Much appreciated.

[@ReasonablyRetro]

Very helpful overview! Really helped understand the language and I knew almost nothing before. One small step forward. Thanks!

[@wintats5650]

Thank you so much Corey for taking the time to explain every detail. You are a blessing, be blessed!!

[@Yasharvl]

A super SQLite-3 jump start video! Thank you again Corey!

[@agaby18]

Thank you! That's precisely what i need to understand the py approach to sqlite3.

[@MobCat_]

19:06 I don't remember what its called but you can also use a c insert variables into things.. thing c.execute(f"INSERT INTO employees VALUE ('{emp_2.first}', '{emp_2.last}', '{emp_2.pay}')") the f before the "" is the important bit. print(f"Name: {emp_2.first}") Thanks for the awesome video as well.

[@piotrmazgaj]

Nooo... we can't it was said. That this method is prone to SQL Injection attacks and won't worki in this case. Those are f-strings.

[@amirilifee]

Nice video man. Dont stop doing same videos, bcoz we need them.)))

[@aldehc99]

Totally fascinating learning video to watch.

[@cd1168]

Excellent. The functions really made it worth while.

[@dLantee]

Wonderful video! Very clear, easy to follow. Very good teaching!

[@gatuaprof5396]

Nice work, buddy. I do not easily subscribe to channels, with the crystal clear demo, i had too.

[@ibrahimal-mahfooz8737]

Wallahi you are the best teacher ever!

[@JJohnny224]

That's a great video, I'm building a small project for my summer class and SQLite is perfect for it. Thanks!

Glad I found this, it was extremely helpful and clear

[@anuragkadam7935]

Awesome channel, awesome work. Whatever i earn from my programming skills, i owe it to you. 🙌🏿✨

[@khaled-dz8357]

I wasreally wondering how tolearn hard SQLLITE and databases in genreal. You have broke down and make it like chees for me. Thanks Corey

[@CWW9000]

Excellent, well-constructed tutorial, very useful for the data science project I'm working on, many thanks man, keep it up. -Ben

[@zacstrick6133]

This was a great video, very well structured with good sound and visuals.

[@miar190691]

awesome tutorial. I just made a few modification to add user input. thank you master :)

[@789sunshine]

Thanks a ton! Just exactly what I was looking for!

[@SupermotoZach]

Who else loves how awesome python is 😀

[@FavianTubeX]

why doesn't it display the select results with just the select statement on line 15 (10:00 minutes into video).. why does the code need a fetchall statement instead of just executing the select statement like a normal sql query? not clear on why fetchall is needed even though there's already a select statement above.

[@SZOKE19940321]

all DB stuff I need for a simple app in one video, cool stuff

[@KandMe1]

This is really good. Just to say well done really enjoyed watching this.
