🚀 Getting Started:
Before you start, make sure you have
the MySQL Connector/Python library
installed.

pip install mysql-connector-python

🌐 Establish a connection
import mysql.connector
# Establish a connection
connection= mysql.connector.connect(
host="localhost",
user="username",
password="password",
database="mydb"
)
🔍 Executing Queries
You can execute SQL queries using a
cursor. Please note a single cursor
can also be used in entire program.

cursor = connection.cursor()

# Execute SQL query


cursor.execute("SELECT*FROM mytable")

# Fetch results
result = cursor.fetchall()

# Don't forget to commit changes


connection.commit()

# Close the cursor and connection


cursor.close()
connection.close()
➕ Inserting Data
Adding data to a table.

cursor = connection.cursor()

# Insert data
sql = "INSERT INTO mytable (column1,
column2) VALUES (%s, %s)"
values = ("value1", "value2")

cursor.execute(sql, values)

# Commit and close

connection.commit()
cursor.close()
✏️ Updating Data
Modify existing data.

cursor = connection.cursor()

# Update data
sql = "UPDATE mytable SET column1 = %s
WHERE column2 = %s"
values =("new_value","criteria_value")

cursor.execute(sql, values)

# Commit and close

connection.commit()
cursor.close()
❌ Deleting Data
Remove data from a table.

cursor = connection.cursor()

# Delete data
sql = "DELETE FROM mytable WHERE
column = %s"
value = "value_to_delete"

cursor.execute(sql,(value,))

# Commit and close

connection.commit()
cursor.close()
🌐 Fetching Data
Retrieve data from a query.

# Execute SQL query


cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM mytable")

# Fetch one row


row = cursor.fetchone()

# Fetch all rows


rows = cursor.fetchall()

# Close the cursor


cursor.close()
📋 Using Prepared Statements
Prevent SQL injection by using
prepared statements.

cursor = connection.cursor(prepared=True)

# Execute prepared statement


stmt = "INSERT INTO mytable (column1,
column2) VALUES (?, ?)"
data = ("value1", "value2")

cursor.execute(stmt, data)

# Commit and close

connection.commit()
cursor.close()
🔐 Transaction Management
Manage transactions to ensure data
consistency.

connection.start_transaction()

try:

# Your database operations here


connection.commit()

except:
# Undo operations in case of error
connection.rollback()

# Close the connection


connection.close()
