    try:
        sqliteConnection = sqlite3.connect('SQLite_Python.db')
        cursor = sqliteConnection.cursor()
        print("Connected to SQLite")

                          VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?);"""

        cursor.executemany(sqlite_insert_query, recordList)
        sqliteConnection.commit()
        print("Total", cursor.rowcount, "Records inserted successfully into SqliteDb_developers table")
        sqliteConnection.commit()
        cursor.close()

    except sqlite3.Error as error:
        print("Failed to insert multiple records into sqlite table", error)
    finally:
        if (sqliteConnection):
            sqliteConnection.close()
            print("The SQLite connection is closed")

recordsToInsert = [(4, 'Jos', '[email protected]', '2019-01-14', 9500),
                   (5, 'Chris', '[email protected]', '2019-05-15',7600),
                   (6, 'Jonny', '[email protected]', '2019-03-27', 8400)]

def create_db():
    with con:
        cur = con.cursor()
        cur.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Contacts")
        cur.execute("CREATE TABLE Contacts (First Name TEXT, Last Name TEXT, Phone TEXT, Email TEXT);")
        cur.execute("INSERT INTO Contacts VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?);", (firstname, lastname, phone, email))

        ## call commit on the connection...
        con.commit()

Example 3: how to insert text into database python sqlite

import sqlite3

        data_tuple = (id, name, email, joinDate, salary)
        cursor.execute(sqlite_insert_with_param, data_tuple)
        sqliteConnection.commit()
        print("Python Variables inserted successfully into SqliteDb_developers table")

        cursor.close()

    except sqlite3.Error as error:
        print("Failed to insert Python variable into sqlite table", error)
    finally:
