python-mysqlHow can I get the number of rows returned when querying a MySQL database with Python?
To get the number of rows returned when querying a MySQL database with Python, you can use the cursor.rowcount attribute of the cursor object. This attribute returns the number of rows that were affected by the last SELECT statement.
For example:
import mysql.connector
# Connect to the database
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
host="localhost",
user="user",
passwd="passwd",
database="mydatabase"
)
# Create a cursor object
my_cursor = mydb.cursor()
# Execute a query
my_cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM customers")
# Get the number of rows
num_rows = my_cursor.rowcount
print(num_rows)
Output example
