In Python, you can interact with SQL databases using various libraries.

One of the most commonly


used libraries for this purpose is `sqlite3`, which is a built-in library in Python and provides a simple
way to work with SQLite databases. Addi onally, there are third-party libraries like `SQLAlchemy` and
`pymysql` for interac ng with different types of SQL databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle,
etc.

Here's a brief explana on of how you can use `sqlite3` to interact with an SQLite database in Python:

1. **Connec ng to a Database:**

To connect to an SQLite database, you use the `connect()` func on from the `sqlite3` module,
specifying the path to the database file. If the file does not exist, it will be created.

```python

import sqlite3

# Connect to the database (creates a new database if not exists)

connec on = sqlite3.connect('example.db')

```

2. **Crea ng a Cursor:**

Once connected, you need to create a cursor object using the `cursor()` method of the connec on
object. The cursor is used to execute SQL commands and manage the results.

```python

# Create a cursor object

cursor = connec on.cursor()

```

3. **Execu ng SQL Commands:**

You can execute SQL commands using the `execute()` method of the cursor object. You can execute
commands like crea ng tables, inser ng data, upda ng data, dele ng data, etc.

```python

# Create a table

cursor.execute('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Employees (

EmployeeID INT PRIMARY KEY,

LastName VARCHAR(50),

FirstName VARCHAR(50),

Department VARCHAR(50)

)''')

# Insert data into the table

cursor.execute("INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (1, 'Doe', 'John', 'IT')")

# Commit the transac on

connec on.commit()

```

4. **Fetching Data:**

You can fetch data from the database using methods like `fetchone()`, `fetchall()`, or by itera ng
over the cursor object.

```python

# Fetch data from the table

cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE Department = 'IT'")

rows = cursor.fetchall()

for row in rows:

print(row)

```

5. **Closing the Connec on:**

Once you're done working with the database, it's important to close the connec on to release the
database resources.

```python

# Close the connec on

connec on.close()

```

This is a basic overview of using `sqlite3` in Python. Depending on the library you choose, the syntax
and methods may vary slightly, but the underlying principles remain similar.
