Python sqlite3 Delete Row

Now on to our Python sqlite3 Delete Row Example! All we need to do is write the usual DELETE SQL statement within the cur.execute() method:

import sqlite3
con = sqlite3.connect('data/sample.db')
cur = con.cursor()

#select rows
for row in cur.execute('SELECT * FROM PlayList'):
    print(row)

#OUTPUT
#('2022-01-31', 1, 'Kanye West', 'Fade', 'Life of Pablo', '3:13', 2.99)
#('2022-01-31', 2, 'Kanye West', 'Ultralight Beam', 'Life of Pablo', '5:20', 3.99)
#('2022-01-31', 3, 'Kanye West', 'Famous', 'Life of Pablo', '3:16', 1.99)

cur.execute("DELETE FROM PlayList WHERE id = 1")

#select rows
for row in cur.execute('SELECT * FROM PlayList'):
    print(row)

#OUTPUT
#('2022-01-31', 2, 'Kanye West', 'Ultralight Beam', 'Life of Pablo', '5:20', 3.99)
#('2022-01-31', 3, 'Kanye West', 'Famous', 'Life of Pablo', '3:16', 1.99)

con.close()

This is simple. All we are doing is running the DELETE statement against our sample.db in the cur.execute() method.
