Python - Database Applications

MySQL Database
MySQL should have been installed on your computer.

Install MySQL Driver


 Python needs a MySQL driver to access the MySQL database - "MySQL Connector".
 Use PIP to install "MySQL Connector". (Iinstalled in your Python environment)
 Navigate command line to the location of PIP, and type the following:

Download and install "MySQL Connector":


C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts>python -m pip install mysql-
connector

Test MySQL Connector


To test if the installation was successful, or if you already have "MySQL Connector" installed, create a Python
page with the following content:
import mysql.connector

Object and Methods


 MySQL Connector is a standardized database driver for Python and enables Python programs to access
MySQL databases.
 Use the mysql.connector.connect() method of MySQL Connector with required parameters to connect
MySQL.
 Use the connection object returned by a connect() method to create a cursor object to perform Database
Operations.
 The cursor.execute() to execute SQL queries from Python.The parameters found in the tuple are bound to
the variables in the operation. Specify variables using %s.
 MySQLConnection.commit() Method sends a COMMIT statement to the MySQL server, committing the
current transaction.
 MySQLCursor.fetchall() Method fetches all rows of a query result set and returns a list of tuples. If no more
rows are available, it returns an empty list.

Create Connection
Start by creating a connection to the database. Use the username and password from your MySQL database:
import mysql.connector
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(host="localhost", user="root", passwd=" ")
print(mydb)
Creating a Database
To create a database in MySQL, use the "CREATE DATABASE" statement:
……..
mycursor = mydb.cursor()
mycursor.execute("CREATE DATABASE school")

The MySQLCursor class instantiates objects that can execute operations such as SQL statements. Cursor objects
interact with the MySQL server using a MySQLConnection object. To create a cursor, use the cursor() method of a
connection object:
Check if Database Exists
You can check if a database exist by listing all databases in your system by using the "SHOW DATABASES" statement:
……..
mycursor = mydb.cursor()
mycursor.execute("SHOW DATABASES")

for x in mycursor:
print(x)
Creating a Table
To create a table in MySQL, use the "CREATE TABLE" statement. Make sure you define the name of the database
when you create the connection.
import mysql.connector
mydb = mysql.connector.connect( host="localhost", user="root", passwd="", database="school" )
mycursor = mydb.cursor()
mycursor.execute("CREATE TABLE student (adno CHAR(3), name VARCHAR(15), grade int)")
Check if Table Exists
You can check if a table exist by listing all tables in your database with the "SHOW TABLES" statement:
……..
mycursor = mydb.cursor()
mycursor.execute("SHOW TABLES")
for x in mycursor:
print(x)
Insert Into Table
To fill a table in MySQL, use the "INSERT INTO" statement.
………
mycursor = mydb.cursor()
sql = "INSERT INTO student (adno, name, grade) VALUES (%s, %s, %s)"
val = ("101", "Saman", 12)
mycursor.execute(sql, val)
mydb.commit()
print(mycursor.rowcount, "Record inserted.")
Select From a Table
To select from a table in MySQL, use the "SELECT" statement:
……….
mycursor = mydb.cursor()
mycursor.execute("SELECT * FROM student")
myresult = mycursor.fetchall()
for x in myresult:
print(x)
