I'm new to python. I just want to print the data in postgresql database into a dictionary.

The database consist of 3 column (name, department, overall_percentage) and I have 3 tables of class A, B, C.

Here what I need is to print the nested dictionary where the class a is key and inside nested dictionary the name as key and respective values in the row is value.

Here is my existing code:

import psycopg2

conn = psycopg2.connect(
   database="CONNE py",
    user='postgres',
    password='asdf',
    host='localhost',
    port= '5432'
)

cursor=conn.cursor()

tables = ["Class_A", "Class_B", "Class_C"]

nested_dict={}

for table in tables:
    cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM {table}")
    inner_dict={'name':table[1],'department':[2], 'overall_percentage':[3]}
    nested_dict[table[0]]=nested_dict.get(table[0],[])+[inner_dict]

print(f"{table}:",nested_dict)
cursor.close()

Hard to understand what you want, and many things seem to be wrong in the existing code (1 comment)
