In this video we’ll learn how to delete many selected records from the database and the treeview for tkinter and python.

We already have the ability to select multiple records in the treeview. In this video we’ll delete those selections from the database.

We’ll use c.executemany() to delete more than one record from the database.

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")

  • Thank You for creating such amazing content. As of now I am not in a spot financially to be able to contribute but as soon as I am I wont forget the amazing lessons you have put out which ultimately taught me so much. Your teaching style is easily relatable and you do an amazing job of breaking things down or getting to the core of a concept. Just wanted to say that you have created a great impact on me and I am so very glad you exist. I wish the best of your luck should be the worst of your fate.
