python-mysqlHow can I increase the max_execution_time for a MySQL query in Python?

The max_execution_time for a MySQL query in Python can be increased by setting the connect_timeout option in the connection string. This option sets the maximum amount of time (in seconds) that the server will wait for a connection to be established before timing out.

Example code

import mysql.connector

cnx = mysql.connector.connect(user='user', password='password',
                              host='127.0.0.1',
                              database='mydb',
                              connect_timeout=60)

The connect_timeout option can be set to any value, depending on the amount of time needed for the query to complete.

Code explanation

1. import mysql.connector: imports the MySQL Connector/Python library, which is needed to establish a connection to a MySQL database.
2. cnx = mysql.connector.connect(user='user', password='password', host='127.0.0.1', database='mydb', connect_timeout=60): establishes a connection to the MySQL database using the specified user, password, host, and database. The connect_timeout option is set to 60 seconds, which is the maximum amount of time the server will wait for a connection to be established before timing out.
3. connect_timeout: sets the maximum amount of time (in seconds) that the server will wait for a connection to be established before timing out.
