So far I can see the program IDs but I am still getting empty list. Also

That would seem to indicate that the value of course is not matching any value in the field name for the given school_id. Maybe do:

print(course)

to see if they are valid values.

the program_id seems to be in a nested list. Why is that?

Because you are doing fetchall(). That is going to fetch a list of row tuples. Either iterate over that list or iterate over the cursor:

for row in cur_p:
        print(row)

    So I am migrating the data from one database to another. Here, I am
    moving data of student from student_profile table to profile table.

    I have already migrated the course data to another table. What I
    would like to do is get the value of program_id and department_id
    for the profile table. I want to check if the course exist in
    profile_program table, then get it's ID. I think I can use the same
    logic for getting and setting value for the department_id column of
    profile table. I am using psycopg2 to access and move the data.


    for row in cur_t:
               course = row['course']
               # Here I would like to get the value of program_id and
    department_id and insert it to the said columns but I don't know how
    to do it yet
               # I put ?? in department_id coz I don't know how to
    access the 3 department IDs in this query.
               cur_p.execute(""" SELECT id from st_profile where
    name='$[course]' and department_id=?? """)
               x = cur_p.fetchall()
               # This will print an error since I added department_id
    without value yet but if I remove it, I will get "None"
               print x



    Sorry for asking questions a lot, we don't have DBA at the moment.


    Thanks,

        Subject: Query ID Values


        Good Day,

        I need to run an SQL query and get a program_id and
        department_id of a specific course for each student. I am
        thinking of running an IF condition to check if the course name
        is in program and get it's ID but I don't know yet where to use
        the IF condition in the query.

        sample code:

        for row in cur_t:
              course = row['course']


              cur_p.execute("""SELECT id from program where
        name='$[course]']
                                        WHERE department_id=?? """)


        Problem is I have 3 department IDs ( Senior High, Vocational,
        Undergraduate ) and each ID have multiple programs/courses. Each
        program/course is connected to the deparment table via
        department_id.

        May I ask an advice on how to approach this?


        Thanks,
        J
