This Python MySQL tutorial will help to learn how to use MySQL with

Python from basics to advance, including all necessary functions and


queries explained in detail with the help of good Python MySQL
examples. So, let’s get started.

Installation:-

To install the Python-mysql-connector module, one must have


Python and PIP, preinstalled on their system. If Python and pip are
already installed type the below command in the terminal.
pip3 install mysql-connector-python

Connecting to MySQL Server


We can connect to the MySQL server using the connect() method.
# importing required libraries
import mysql.connector

dataBase = mysql.connector.connect(
host ="localhost",
user ="user",
passwd ="password"
)

print(dataBase)

# Disconnecting from the server


dataBase.close()

Creating Database
After connecting to the MySQL server let’s see how to create a MySQL
database using Python. For this, we will first create a cursor() object
and will then pass the SQL command as a string to the execute()
method. The SQL command to create a database is –
CREATE DATABASE DATABASE_NAME

Example: Creating MySQL database with Python


# importing required libraries
import mysql.connector
dataBase = mysql.connector.connect(
host ="localhost",
user ="user",
passwd ="password"
)
# preparing a cursor object
cursorObject = dataBase.cursor()
# creating database
cursorObject.execute("CREATE DATABASE gfg")
Output:

Creating Tables
For creating tables we will follow the similar approach of writing the
SQL commands as strings and then passing it to the execute() method
of the cursor object. SQL command for creating a table is –

Example: Creating MySQL table using Python

# importing required libraries


import mysql.connector

dataBase = mysql.connector.connect(
host ="localhost",
user ="user",
passwd ="password",
database = "gfg"
)

# preparing a cursor object


cursorObject = dataBase.cursor()

# creating table
studentRecord = """CREATE TABLE STUDENT (
NAME VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
BRANCH VARCHAR(50),
ROLL INT NOT NULL,
SECTION VARCHAR(5),
AGE INT
)"""

# table created
cursorObject.execute(studentRecord)

# disconnecting from server


dataBase.close()

Insert Data into Tables


To insert data into the MySQL table Insert into query is used.
Syntax:
INSERT INTO table_name (column_names) VALUES (data)

Example 1: Inserting Single Row

# importing required libraries


import mysql.connector

dataBase = mysql.connector.connect(
host ="localhost",
user ="user",
passwd ="password",
database = "gfg"
)

# preparing a cursor object


cursorObject = dataBase.cursor()

sql = "INSERT INTO STUDENT (NAME, BRANCH, ROLL, SECTION, AGE)\


VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s)"
val = ("Ram", "CSE", "85", "B", "19")

cursorObject.execute(sql, val)
dataBase.commit()
# disconnecting from server
dataBase.close()

Example 2: Inserting Multiple Rows

To insert multiple values at once, executemany() method is used. This


method iterates through the sequence of parameters, passing the
current parameter to the execute method.
# importing required libraries
import mysql.connector

dataBase = mysql.connector.connect(
host ="localhost",
user ="user",
passwd ="password",
database = "gfg"
)

# preparing a cursor object


cursorObject = dataBase.cursor()

sql = "INSERT INTO STUDENT (NAME, BRANCH, ROLL, SECTION, AGE)\


VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s)"
val = [("Nikhil", "CSE", "98", "A", "18"),
("Nisha", "CSE", "99", "A", "18"),
("Rohan", "MAE", "43", "B", "20"),
("Amit", "ECE", "24", "A", "21"),
("Anil", "MAE", "45", "B", "20"),
("Megha", "ECE", "55", "A", "22"),
("Sita", "CSE", "95", "A", "19")]

cursorObject.executemany(sql, val)
dataBase.commit()

# disconnecting from server


dataBase.close()
Fetching Data
We can use the select query on the MySQL tables in the following
ways –
 In order to select particular attribute columns from a table, we write
the attribute names.
SELECT attr1, attr2 FROM table_name
 In order to select all the attribute columns from a table, we use the
asterisk ‘*’ symbol.
SELECT * FROM table_name
Example: Select data from MySQL table using Python
# importing required libraries
import mysql.connector

dataBase = mysql.connector.connect(
host ="localhost",
user ="user",
passwd ="password",
database = "gfg"
)

# preparing a cursor object


cursorObject = dataBase.cursor()

query = "SELECT NAME, ROLL FROM STUDENT"


cursorObject.execute(query)

myresult = cursorObject.fetchall()

for x in myresult:
print(x)

# disconnecting from server


dataBase.close()
