i am flask starter. i was trying to loop through my mysql table data to check if the data in my form exist or i insert the form request in the table

this is what i have tried but it only keep saving without comparing

`@app.route('/createHotel', methods=['GET', 'POST'])`
`def createHotel():`
   `names=''`
   `if "loggedin" in session and 'admin'==session['role']:`
      `user = session["username"`]
      `userid = session["userid"]`
      `cur.execute('SELECT name FROM hotels')`
      `h = cur.fetchall()`
      `i = 0
      while i < len(h):
        names=(h[i])
        i = i + 1`
      `if request.method == "POST" and 'name' in request.form and 'image' in request.form and 'city' in request.form:`
         `image = request.form["image"`]
         `name = request.form['name']`
         `city = request.form['city']`
         `features = request.form['features']`
         `RoomCount = request.form['RoomCount']`
         `peakSeasonRate = request.form['peakSeasonRate']`
         `OffPeakSeasonRate = request.form['OffPeakSeasonRate']`
         `if name != names:`
            `cur.execute('INSERT INTO hotels (image, name, city, features, RoomCount, peakSeasonRate, OffPeakSeasonRate) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)', (image, name, city, features, RoomCount, peakSeasonRate, OffPeakSeasonRate))`
            `mysql.connection.commit()`
            `cur.close()`
            `flash('hotel added successfully', 'success')`
            `return redirect(url_for('hotelRecord'))`
         `else`:
            `flash('hotel  already exist in the database', 'success')`
      `return render_template("createHotel.html", user=user, userid=userid,)`
   `return redirect(url_for("home"))`
