What is wrong with the following attempt to perform an SQL INSERT? No error
is thrown but no data is inserted into table FRED in the database.
Especially odd is that SELECT statements work! The database is MS SQL Server
2000.

Thanks!

import mx.DateTime, mx.ODBC.Windows

if __name__ == '__main__':
rc = 0
connection = mx.ODBC.Windows.DriverConnect(
'dsn=CNB;userid=Administrator' ) # connect to database
cAddAction = connection.cursor()
ActionID = "12345"
ProcessID = 100
sAddActionQuery = "INSERT INTO FRED (ActionID, ProcessID) VALUES (%s,
%d)" % (ActionID, ProcessID)
print "ActionID=" + ActionID
print "ProcessID=" + str(ProcessID) + "<BR>"
try:
cAddAction.execute(sAddActionQuery)
except:
print "INSERT error<BR>"
cAddAction.close()
cAddAction = None
connection.close()
connection = None

You don't seem to commit the transaction. Invoke .commit() on the
connection object to do so.
