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

2. Create a connection object:

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

3. Create a cursor object:

mycursor = mydb.cursor()

4. Execute an SQL query:

mycursor.execute("SELECT * FROM customers")

5. Fetch the results:

myresult = mycursor.fetchall()

for x in myresult:
  print(x)

6. Output (if any):

('John', 'Highway 21')
('Peter', 'Lowstreet 4')
('Amy', 'Apple st 652')
('Hannah', 'Mountain 21')

7. Close the connection:

mydb.close()
