Hi everyone . I get an error. " Unknown column 'xyz' in 'where clause' ". I have tried many options but am unable to solve it. I have triple checked the code and everything seems right. I am able to add new entries from add query. although the new entry shows in the tree view table it is not showing in mysql database table. more over the update is also not working. looks like some issue in communicating with the mySql database. can you please guide me.

suggest placing print(f"\nquery: {query}")
after all query builds, lines 17, 23, 40, 54 and 61 (current line numbers)

It's difficult to see which actually caused the error but line 62 is mentioned, so suspect line 61 is causing error.
I agree with Larz60+. It is certainly line 61.
query="DELETE from clinicmaster WHERE labname ="+name
I guess "labname" is a char column. So the value has to be enclosed in single quotes.
query="DELETE from clinicmaster WHERE labname = '" + name + "'"
But this method is since long deprecated. I don't know exactly which version MySql uses, but in general you should use placeholders (usually a question mark or %s).
query="DELETE from clinicmaster WHERE labname = ?"
cursor.execute(query, (name,))
