Database

To make student
aware about
Connectivity between
frontend -backend
PREREQUISITE
➢Detailed knowledge of
Python. ➢MySQL

Point to be Focussed
(3 Important Steps)
➢ Download Python 3.5.3 and then install
i➢ Download MySQL API, exe file will be
downloaded install it.
➢ Install MySQL-Python Connector
➢ Now connect MySQL Server using
Python.
What is MySQLdb
What is Connection
What is a Cursor

What is MySQLdb
for connecting to a
MySQL database server
from Python.
• It implements the
Python Database API
and is built on top of
the MySQL C API.

• Just type the following


in your Python script
and execute it −
#!/usr/bin/python
import MySQLdb

MySQLdb import MySQldb


What is Connection
MySQL in your Python
scripts is to make a
connection to the
database that you wish
to use. All Python DB
API modules implement
a function

'module_name.connect‘

• This is the function that


is used to connect to the
database, in our case
MySQL..

Connection MySQLdb

Db=MySQLdb.connect
(“localhost”, testuser”,
”test123”, ”TESTDB”)
Connecting to a MySQL
database :
db = MySQLdb.connect(host=MY_HOST,
user=MY_USER, passwd=MY_PASS, db=MY_DB)

Your user name


Your
Name of the Password
Database

db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost","testuser","test123","TESTDB" )
Create Cursor cur=db.cursor()

What is Cursor
• The next step is to
create a Cursor object.
•It will let you execute all the queries you need
•In order to put our new connnection to good use
we need to create a cursor object.
• The cursor object is an abstraction specified in the
Python DB-API
•It gives us the ability to have multiple seperate working
environments through the same
connection to the database. •We can create a cursor by
executing the 'cursor' function of our database

Creating database Table
➢Once a Database Connection is established, we are ready to create tables using execute( )
method of the created cursor
➢Example
#!/usr/bin/python
import MySQLdb
# Open database connection
db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost","testuser","test123","TESTDB" )
# prepare a cursor object using cursor() method
cursor = db.cursor()
# Drop table if it already exist using execute() method.
cursor.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS EMPLOYEE")
# Create table as per requirement
sql = “ “ "CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE (FIRST_NAME CHAR(20) NOT NULL,
LAST_NAME CHAR(20),
AGE INT,
SEX CHAR(1),
INCOME FLOAT )“ “ "
cursor.execute(sql)
# disconnect from server
db.close()
Insert Records into databse table ➢Its required to insert
records in table for fetching records.
➢Example
#!/usr/bin/python
import MySQLdb
# Open database connection
db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost","testuser","test123","TESTDB" )
# prepare a cursor object using cursor() method
cursor = db.cursor()
# Prepare SQL query to INSERT a record into the database. sql =
"""INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE(FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME, AGE, SEX, INCOME)
VALUES('Mac', 'Mohan', 20, 'M', 2000)""" try:
# Execute the SQL command
cursor.execute(sql)
# Commit your changes in the database
db.commit()
except:
# Rollback in case there is any error
db.rollback()
# disconnect from server
db.close()
Read Records (Select) into databse table
➢Read operation on any database means to fetch some useful
information from the database.
➢We can use fetchone() method to fetch single record
➢fetchall() method to fetch multiple values from a database table.
➢fetchone() − It fetches the next row of a query result set. A
result set is an object that is returned when a cursor object is
used to query a table. fetchall() − It fetches all the rows in a result
set.
If some rows have already been extracted from the result set,
then it retrieves the remaining rows from the result set.
rowcount − This is a read-only attribute and returns the number of
rows that were affected by an execute() method.
➢Example
import MySQLdb
db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost","testuser","test123","TESTDB"
) cursor = db.cursor()
sql = "SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE INCOME > '%d'" %
(1000) try:
cursor.execute(sql)
# Fetch all the rows in a list of lists.
results = cursor.fetchall()
for row in results:
fname = row[0] lname = row[1]
age = row[2] sex = row[3]
income = row[4]
# Now print fetched result
print "fname=%s,lname=%s,age=%d,sex=%s,income=%d" %
(fname, lname, age, sex, income )
except:
print "Error: unable to fecth data"
# disconnect from server
db.close()
Update information into databse table

➢UPDATE Operation on any database means to update one or more records, which
are already available in the database.
➢The following procedure updates all the records having SEX as 'M'. Here, we
increase AGE of all the males by one year.
➢Example
import MySQLdb

db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost","testuser","test123","TESTDB" )

cursor = db.cursor()

sql = "UPDATE EMPLOYEE SET AGE = AGE + 1 WHERE SEX = '%c'" % ('M')
try:
cursor.execute(sql)

db.commit()
except:

db.rollback()
Delete information into databse table

➢DELETE operation is required when you want to delete some records from your
database. Following is the procedure to delete all the records from EMPLOYEE
where AGE is more than 20
➢Example
import MySQLdb

db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost","testuser","test123","TESTDB" )

cursor = db.cursor()

sql = "DELETE FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE AGE > '%d'" % (20)


try:
cursor.execute(sql)

db.commit()
except:

db.rollback()
Disconnecting Database
➢To disconnect Database connection,
use close() method.

db.close()
