python-mysqlHow can I handle null values in a MySQL database using Python?


To handle null values in a MySQL database using Python, one can use the MySQL Connector/Python package. This package provides an API for communicating with MySQL databases from Python.

The following example code shows how to connect to a MySQL database and handle null values using the fetchall() method.

# import the MySQL Connector/Python package
import mysql.connector

# create a connection to the MySQL database
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
  host="localhost",
  user="user",
  passwd="password",
  database="mydatabase"
)

# create a cursor object
mycursor = mydb.cursor()

# execute a query
mycursor.execute("SELECT * FROM customers WHERE address IS NULL")

# fetch all records from the query
myresult = mycursor.fetchall()

# loop through the results
for row in myresult:
  print(row)

This code will output the following:

(1, 'John', None)
(2, 'Peter', None)
(3, 'Amy', None)

The fetchall() method will return a list of tuples with all the records from the query. The tuples will contain the values of each column, including None for null values.

In this way, one can easily handle null values in a MySQL database using Python.
