INTERFACE PYTHON WITH

MYSQL
Connecting Python application with
Introductio
n
 Every application required data to be stored for future
reference to manipulate data. Today every application
stores data in database for this purpose
 For example, reservation system stores passengers
details for reserving the seats and later on for sending
some messages or for printing tickets etc.
 In school student details are saved for many reasons
like attendance, fee collections, exams, report card etc.
 Python allows us to connect all types of database like
Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL.
 In our syllabus we have to understand how to connect
Python programs with MySQL
Pre-requisite to connect Python with
MySQL
 Before we connect python program with any database
like MySQL we need to build a bridge to connect
Python and MySQL.
 To build this bridge so that data can travel both ways
we need a connector called “mysql.connector”.
 We can install “mysql.connector” by using
following methods:
 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
 Or open
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/
And download connector as per OS and Python version
Connecting to MySQL from
Python
 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
 Clean up the environment
Importing
mysql.connector
import mysql.connector

Or

import mysql.connector as ms

Here “ms” is an alias, so every time we can use “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=<user_name
>,
passwd=<password>[,database=<database>
])

 Here server_name means database servername, generally


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 data(table) we
want to use
Example: To establish connection
with MySQL

is_connected() function returns


true if connection is established
otherwise false

“mys” is an alias of package


“mycon” is connection object which stores connection established with MySQL
“mysql.connector”

Table to work
(emp)
Creating
Cursor
 It is a useful control structure of database connectivity.
 When we fire a query to database, it is executed and
resultset (set of records) is sent over the connection in
one go.
 We may want to access data one row at a time, but
query processing cannot happens as one row at a time,
so cursor help us in performing this task. Cursor stores
all the data as a temporary container of returned data
and we can fetch data one row at a time from Cursor.
Creating Cursor and Executing
Query
 TO CREATE CURSOR
 Cursor_name = connectionObject.cursor()
 For e.g.
 mycursor = mycon.cursor()
 TO EXECUTE QUERY
 We use execute() function to send query to
connection
 Cursor_name.execute(query)
 For e.g.
 mycursor.execute("select * from emp")
Example -
Cursor

Output shows cursor is created and query is fired and stored, but no data is
coming. To fetch data we have to use functions like fetchall(), fetchone(),
fetchmany() are used
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
tuple.
 fetchone() : it return one record from the result set.
i.e. first time it will return first record, next time it will
return second record and so on. If no more record it
will return None
 fetchmany(n) : it will return n number of records. IF
no more record it will return an empty tuple.
Syntax:
 rowcount
count : it will return
= cursor.rowcount number
(It is a of rows )retrieved
cursor property

This from theproperty


read-only cursor returns
so far.the number of rows returned
for SELECT statements, or the number of rows affected by DML statements
such as INSERT or UPDATE.
Example –
fetchall()
Example 2 –
fetchall()
Example 3 –
fetchall()
Example 4:
fetchone()
Example 5:
fetchmany(n)

Parameterized
Query
 We can pass values to query to perform dynamic
search like we want to search for any employee
number entered during runtime or to search any
other column values.
 To Create Parameterized query we can use various
methods like:
 Concatenating dynamic variable to in
query values are entered. which
 String template with % formatting
 String template with {} and format function
Concatenating variable with
query
String template with %s
formatting
 In this method we will use %s in place of values to
substitute and then pass the value for that place.
String template with %s
formatting
String template with {} and
format()
 In this method in place of %s we will use {} and to
pass values for these placeholder format() is used.
Inside we can optionally give 0,1,2… values for e.g.
{0},{1} but its not mandatory. we can also optionally
pass named parameter inside {} so that while passing
values through format we not
function remember the to
order of value need to For
{roll},{name} etc. e.g.
pass.
String template with {} and
format()
String template with {} and
format()
Inserting data in MySQL table
from Python
 INSERT and UPDATE operation are executed in
the same way we execute SELECT query using
execute() but one thing to remember, after
executing insert or update query we must commit
our query using connection object with
commit().
 For e.g. (if our connection object name is mycon)
 mycon.commit()
BEFORE PROGRAM

Example : inserting EXECUTION

data

AFTER PROGRAM
EXECUTION
Example: Updating
record
