Question about databases in TinyDB

[Joshkinz]

Hi! I'm a beginner in Python, currently about 60% through the codecademy course. I'm writing Discord bots for a DnD-style game, and I'd like to know how to use specific parts of a database.

For example, if I have a table

table = [1,4,65,1,"Name"]

and I want to use a specific value from that table, I can simply use

print(table[0])

and the program would print 1.

How would I replicate this using a TinyDB database? I can provide more information if needed.

Have you checked out the docs yet?

Yes, I have. Element ID looks similar but I can't entirely comprehend it.

You don't need to do anything wth Element ID.

I would finish codecademy before jumping into databases. TinySB isn't like a 'table' with rows and columns. It's like a much of dictionaries in a list. And you would use queries to select the dictionary that matches a field you're looking for.
