python-mysqlHow can I convert all "None" values to "null" in a Python-MySQL database?


To convert all "None" values to "null" in a Python-MySQL database, you can use the following code:

import MySQLdb

# Establish connection to the database
db = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", user="username", passwd="password", db="database_name")

# Create a cursor object
cursor = db.cursor()

# Execute the SQL query
cursor.execute("UPDATE table_name SET column_name = NULL WHERE column_name = 'None'")

# Commit the changes to the database
db.commit()

# Close the database connection
db.close()

This code will update the specified column in the specified table, and set any values of "None" to "null".

The code consists of the following parts:

  1. Importing the MySQLdb module to establish a connection to the database
  2. Establishing a connection to the database using the connect() method
  3. Creating a cursor object to execute the SQL query
  4. Executing the SQL query to update the column and set the values of "None" to "null"
  5. Committing the changes to the database
  6. Closing the database connection
