Create an In-Memory SQLite Table and Query It in Python
This code creates an in-memory SQLite database, defines an employees table, inserts sample rows, and runs a filtered query with sorted results.
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("""
CREATE TABLE employees (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
name TEXT NOT NULL,
department TEXT NOT NULL,
salary REAL
)
""")
employees = [
(1, "Alice", "Engineering", 95000),
(2, "Bob", "…Export SQLite Query Results to CSV in Python
Connects to a SQLite database, runs a query, and writes the result rows and column headers to a CSV file using the standard library.
import sqlite3
import csv
def export_query_to_csv(db_path, query, csv_path):
conn = sqlite3.connect(db_path)
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute(query)
rows = cursor.fetchall()
column_names = [description[0] for description in cursor.description]

Insert many rows into an SQLite table in one call with cursor.executemany, then verify them with a SELECT query.
import sqlite3
# Create an in-memory database and a table
conn = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE products (name TEXT, price REAL, quantity INTEGER)")
# Data to insert in bulk
products = [
