PYTHON MYSQL CONNECTOR MODULE METHODS
1. Connect (): This function is used for establishing a connection with the MySQL server. The following are the arguments that are used to initiate a connection: a. user: User name associated with the MySQL server used to authenticate the connection b. password: Password associated with the user name for authentication c. database: Data base in the MySQL for creating the Table 2. Cursor (): Cursor is the workspace created in the system memory when the SQL command is executed. This memory is temporary and the cursor connection is bounded for the entire session/lifetime and the commands are executed
3. Execute (): The execute function takes a SQL query as an argument and executes. A query is an SQL command which is used to create, insert, retrieve, update, delete etc.
CREATE DATABASE NAMED SOFTWARE
Python Database API (Application Program Interface) is the Database interface for the standard Python. This standard is adhered to by most Python Database interfaces. There are various Database servers supported by Python Database such as MySQL, GadFly, mSQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Informix, Interbase, Oracle, Sybase etc. To connect with MySQL database server from Python, we need to import the MySQL. Connector interface. Syntax:
# creating table studentRecord = """CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE ( ID INT NOT NULL, NAME VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL, AGE INT NOT NULL, ADDRESS VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL, SALARY DOUBLE NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(ID) )"""
# table created cursorObject.execute(studentRecord) # disconnecting from server dataBase.close() print("EMPLOYEE Table is Created in the Database")
import mysql.connector mydb=mysql.connector.connect(host="localhost",user="root",passwd="") mycursor=mydb.cursor() mycursor.execute("show databases") for i in mycursor: print(i)
FETCH DATA FROM DATABASE IN PYTHON:
(Using database SOFTWARE and table employee) import mysql.connector mydb=mysql.connector.connect(host="localhost",user="root",passwd="",database="SOF TWARE") mycursor=mydb.cursor() mycursor.execute("Select * from employee") for i in mycursor: print(i)
FETCH ALL DATA FROM DB PYTHON (Using a variable GEORGE):
(Using database SOFTWARE and table employee)
import mysql.connector mydb=mysql.connector.connect(host="localhost",user="root",passwd="",database="SOF TWARE") mycursor=mydb.cursor() mycursor.execute("Select * from employee") GEORGE=mycursor.fetchall() for i in GEORGE: print(i)
OUTPUT:
FETCH ONE DATA FROM DB PYTHON (Using a variable GEORGE):
(Using database BSCIT and table employee)
import mysql.connector mydb=mysql.connector.connect(host="localhost",user="root",passwd="",database="SOF TWARE") mycursor=mydb.cursor() mycursor.execute("Select * from employee") GEORGE=mycursor.fetchone() for i in GEORGE: print(i)
