In this video I’ll show you how to delete a record from our database using the Treeview and entry boxes in our Treebase app.

Deleting records from the database is pretty simple. We just connect to the database as usual, create a cursor as usual, then run one simple SQL command to delete a record with a specific ID.

When deleting records from any database, you always want to use that records unique id, or primary key, or in sqlite3’s case, the rowid (oid). Delete Database Record With Treeview – Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial #178

Python Code: treebase.py
(Github Code)

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter import messagebox
import sqlite3



root = Tk()
root.title('Codemy.com - TreeBase')
root.iconbitmap('c:/gui/codemy.ico')
root.geometry("1000x500")
