how to make queries with psycopg2 code example

Example: psycopg2 query

>>> import psycopg2

# Connect to an existing database
>>> conn = psycopg2.connect("dbname=test user=postgres")

# Open a cursor to perform database operations
>>> cur = conn.cursor()

# Execute a command: this creates a new table
>>> cur.execute("CREATE TABLE test (id serial PRIMARY KEY, num integer, data varchar);")

# Pass data to fill a query placeholders and let Psycopg perform
# the correct conversion (no more SQL injections!)
>>> cur.execute("INSERT INTO test (num, data) VALUES (%s, %s)",
...      (100, "abc'def"))

# Query the database and obtain data as Python objects
>>> cur.execute("SELECT * FROM test;")
>>> cur.fetchone()
(1, 100, "abc'def")

# Make the changes to the database persistent
>>> conn.commit()

# Close communication with the database
>>> cur.close()
>>> conn.close()
