file_values = [
(os.path.relpath(filename, foobar_input_folder),)
for filename in filenames
]
cur.executemany(
"INSERT INTO foobar_foobar_files VALUES (?)",
file_values
)

full_file = os.path.join(root, file)
full_not_in = full_file not in previously_processed_files
tail_not_in = full_file[:-3] not in previously_processed_files
if full_not_in and tail_not_in:
