python-mysqlHow can I connect Python to a MySQL database using an Xserver?


To connect Python to a MySQL database using an Xserver you must have the following prerequisites installed:

  1. Python 3.7+
  2. MySQL Server
  3. Xserver

Once the prerequisites are installed, the following steps must be taken to connect Python to the MySQL database using an Xserver:

  1. Import the necessary packages:
import mysql.connector
import xserver
  1. Create a connection object:
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
  host="localhost",
  user="user",
  passwd="password"
)
  1. Create a cursor object:
mycursor = mydb.cursor()
  1. Execute an SQL query:
mycursor.execute("SELECT * FROM customers")
  1. Fetch the results:
myresult = mycursor.fetchall()

for x in myresult:
  print(x)
  1. Output (if any):
('John', 'Highway 21')
('Peter', 'Lowstreet 4')
('Amy', 'Apple st 652')
('Hannah', 'Mountain 21')
  1. Close the connection:
mydb.close()
