Python is a very popular general-purpose interpreted, interactive, object-oriented,

and high-level programming language. Python is dynamically-typed and garbage-collected
programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum during 1985- 1990. Like Perl,
Python source code is also available under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Python
supports multiple programming paradigms, including Procedural, Object Oriented and
Functional programming language. Python design philosophy emphasizes code readability
with the use of significant indentation.

Python is consistently rated as one of the world's most popular programming languages.
Python is fairly easy to learn, so if you are starting to learn any programming language then
Python could be your great choice. Today various Schools, Colleges and Universities are
teaching Python as their primary programming language. There are many other good
reasons which makes Python as the top choice of any programmer:

 Python is a MUST for students and working professionals to become a great Software
Engineer specially when they are working in Web Development Domain. I will list down
some of the key advantages of learning Python:

 Python is Interpreted − Python is processed at runtime by the interpreter. You do not

need to compile your program before executing it. This is similar to PERL and PHP.

 Python is Interactive − You can actually sit at a Python prompt and interact with the
interpreter directly to write your programs.

 Python is Object-Oriented − Python supports Object-Oriented style or technique of

programming that encapsulates code within objects.

 Python is a Beginner's Language − Python is a great language for the beginner-level

programmers and supports the development of a wide range of applications from
simple text processing to WWW browsers to games.

1.3 BACK END- MySQL

MySQL is currently the most popular open-source database software. It is a multi-

user, multithreaded database management system. MySQL is especially popular on the
web. It is one of the parts of the very popular LAMP platform. Linux, Apache, MySQL and
PHP or WIMP platform Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP.

MySQL AB was founded by Michael Widenius (Monty), David Axmark and Allan
Larsson in Sweden in year 1995. MySQL is a relational database management system based
on SQL – Structured Query Language.

The most common use for MySQL however, is for the purpose of a web database.
MYSQL has been used in this project to store the details of the vehicles in form of a table.

Features of MySQL:

 Open Source & Free of Cost: It is Open Source and available at free of cost.

 Portability: Small enough in size to install and run it on any types of Hardware and
OS like Linux, MS Windows or Mac etc.

 Security: Its Databases are secured & protected with password.

 Connectivity: Various APIs are developed to connect it with many programming

languages.

 Query Language: It supports SQL (Structured Query Language) for handling

database.

1.4 PYTHON - MYSQL CONNECTOR

MySQL Connector/Python enables Python programs to access MySQL databases

Advantages and benefits of MySQL Connector Python:

 MySQL Connector Python is written in pure Python, and it is self-sufficient to

execute database queries through Python.

 It is an official Oracle-supported driver to work with MySQL and Python.

6
1.5 MODULES:

 mysql.connector

The mysql.connector module in Python is a versatile and powerful tool that facilitates
seamless interaction with MySQL databases. It allows developers to easily establish a
connection to a MySQL server by specifying connection parameters such as the host, username,
password, and database name. Once connected, you can execute a wide variety of SQL queries,
including SELECT for fetching data, INSERT for adding new records, UPDATE for modifying
existing entries, and DELETE for removing data. The module supports both simple and
complex queries, providing methods like fetchall(), fetchone(), and fetchmany() to retrieve
query results in a flexible manner.

The mysql.connector also ensures security by supporting parameterized queries, which

help protect against SQL injection attacks by using placeholders instead of embedding raw user
input directly into queries. Additionally, it offers robust transaction management features, such
as commit() for saving changes to the database and rollback() for reverting changes in case of
an error. This makes it easy to maintain data integrity, especially in applications where multiple
queries need to be executed as part of a single transaction.

The module supports prepared statements, enabling faster and more efficient execution of
frequently used queries by pre-compiling them. For applications that require high performance
and reduced overhead, connection pooling is available, allowing multiple connections to be
reused rather than repeatedly opening and closing connections to the database. Furthermore,
error handling is integrated through exceptions such as mysql.connector.Error, which makes it
easier to catch and manage errors related to database operations.

The mysql.connector module also provides functionality for working with database
metadata, such as fetching details about table structures or retrieving column information using
queries like DESCRIBE and SHOW COLUMNS.

7
 You can also execute stored procedures and functions within the database, enabling the
execution of more complex, predefined operations.Additionally, the module can handle Binary
Large Objects (BLOBs), such as images, audio files, and documents, making it suitable for
applications that need to store and retrieve binary data in MySQL databases.

Overall, mysql.connector is an essential library for building Python applications that need
to connect to and interact with MySQL databases. It offers a wide range of features to ensure
secure, efficient, and flexible database operations, making it a popular choice for developers
working with relational databases in Python.
