[NOTE: To keep the code as simple as we can, We WILL NOT ADD any user input Varevecations. Assuming that our user will Enter the right inputs.]

[ IF THE IS FIRST TIME DOWNLOADING THE CODE FILE, SELECT OPTION 7 FROM MAIN-MENU TO CREATE THE DATABASE]

In this part (Part-9) of Coffee Consumption App, we will write a Function to Edit a Record in the Main Table of the Coffee Consumption System. Because we are using Lookup tables for some of the data [Coffee Name, Type and Size] editing code may be longer that we will use the SQL Select commands several time to retrieve the data from those Tables. So first we will look to the steps we need to do (will do) in the Function:

1. Calling the show_records(inside = ‘yes’) function to display all the records on the screen.

2. In while True loop we will ask the user to Select the Record ID that want to Edit. We will do a Validation if the user select a valid ID using check_availabilty(‘coffee_con’,’c_id’, int(edit_rec_id)) != None)

3. Using SQL Command, We will Select the main record for Coffee_con Table, then again we will use the SQL to do the following:
— > SQL Command to get the Coffee Name for coffee_name Table using foreign key in coffee name cell.
— > SQL Command to get the Coffee Type for coffee_type Table using foreign key coffee type cell.
— > SQL Command to get the Coffee Size for coffee_size Table using foreign key coffee size cell.
Then we will display the Record and ask the use to confirm that this is the record to be edit.
4. After the user confirmation of Editing the Record, we will run three blocks of while True loop code for Coffee Name, Coffee Type and Coffee Size in each one we will display the data in the lookup Table, ask the user to Select ID from the List, if the user press on enter without writing any number then we will keep the current data, also we will do a validation on user input. Also will ask the user for Gender and Rank.
5. Now we have all the New Edited Date, we will display it on the screen asking the user [again] to confirm the “Saving The Changed” by Pressing the [S] (any thing else will be as “NO Don’t Save”).

Coding Now let’s see some parts of the code we use, the Source File of extention .py is available in the Download Page.


Here the user Selecting the ID of the Record to be Edit.

The while True loop to edit the coffee Type.

Last code part is to display the new edited record on the screen and the SQL command to UPDATE the DataBase.

What’s Coming: In Part-10 we will write the Function to backup the data as Excel file.
