In our syllabus we have to understand
how to connect
Python programs with MySQL
Pre-requisite to connect Python w
MySQL
Before we connect python program with
any database
like MySQL we need to build a bridge to

“mysql.connector”.
We ca inst “mysql.conne b usin followi

At command prompt (Administrator login)
Type “pip install mysql.connector” and press
enter
(internet connection in required)
This connector will work only for MySQL 5.7.3 or
later

Once the connector is installed you are
ready to
connect your python program to
MySQL.
The following steps to follow while
connecting your python program with
MySQL
Open python
Import the package required (import
mysql.connector)
Open the connection to database
Create a cursor instance
Execute the query and store it in resultset
Extract data from resultset

Here “ms” is an alias, time we can use
so every “ms” in
place of
“mysql.connector”
Open a connection to MySQL
Database
To create connection, connect()
function is used
Its syntax is:
connect(host=<server_name>,user=<us
er_name>,
Here server_name means database
passwd=<password>[,database=<
servername, generally
database>])
it is given as “localhost”
User_name means user by which we connect
with mysql
generally it is given as “root”
Password is the password of user “root”
Database is the name of database whose

Fetching(extracting) data
from ResultSet
To extract data from cursor following
functions are used:
fetchall() : it will return all the record in
the form of
