Python problem with adding table to Database with sql

Hi, I’m trying to create a function that will take a table in insert(add) to the database.
My Code :

def save_database(table_name):
        table_name.head(0).to_sql('table_name', engine, if_exists='replace',index=False)
        conn = engine.raw_connection()
        cur = conn.cursor()
        output = io.StringIO()
        table_name.to_csv(output, sep='t', header=False, index=False)
        output.seek(0)
        contents = output.getvalue()
        cur.copy_from(output,'table_name', null="") 
        conn.commit()

this is the old code when i didn’t create a function:

CustomerTable.head(0).to_sql('CustomerTable', engine, if_exists='replace',index=False) 
conn = engine.raw_connection()
cur = conn.cursor()
output = io.StringIO()
CustomerTable.to_csv(output, sep='t', header=False, index=False)
output.seek(0)
contents = output.getvalue()
cur.copy_from(output, 'CustomerTable', null="") 
conn.commit()

Answer

You seem to have put table_name under quotations in your to_sql function.

Also, you seem to be tackling the issue of data model creation and maintenance, which already has a lot of tooling in Python around it. Consider using something like alembic

Hope this helps.
