importing/ exporting Data between CSV files /MySQL and Pandas

we have seen Python Pandas library and learn about two data structures of Pandas library i.e
series and Dataframes, that are capable of storing any types of data in 2D tabular format.
we can also use spreadsheet files (Ms excel) or database tables (Mysql/Access) to store the
data in 2D table formats. Dataframes can also hold data in similar way, you can transfer data
from Data frame to Such data files (or tables) or from files in to a data frame.
Two types of transfer of files we have to learn is:
1. To transfer a data to/from a .CSV file from / in to Dataframe.
2. To transfer to/from Database table from/ in to Dataframe.

About CSV file:


The acronym CSV is short form of comma separated values. The csv format refers to a
tabular data that has been saved as plain text where data is separated by commas.

format then the data of the table will be stored in csv format as shown below on the right.

As you can see that in CSV format


Each row of the table is stored in one row i.e. the number of rows in a csv file are equal to
number of rows in the table( or sheet or database table etc )
The field values of a row are stored together with commas after every field value; but after
the last field’s value in a line /row, no comma is given, just the end of line.
The csv format is popular as it offers following advantages:
 simple compact and indifferent format for data storage.
 A common format for data interchange
 it can be opened in popular spreadsheet packages like MS Excel , calc etc.
Nearly all spreadsheets and databases support Import / export to csv format

Eg. csv file sample.csv, is shown in notepad as well as in MS Excel.

Reading from a CSV file to Dataframe:
You can use read_csv()function to read data from a CSV file in your dataframe.
<DF> =pandas.read_csv(filepath)

OUTPUT

Saved path is E:\sample.csv


Note: If you get file path error by single slash
then change it to double slashes
i.e. “E:\\sample.csv”

column heading be added .
<DF> =pandas.read_csv(filepath, header=None)

If we have first row having some default column values, that we don’t want as
columns value than use skiprows argument.

OUTPUT

Saved path is E:\student.csv

skiprow argument if given as 1 first row is skipped.
