python-mysqlHow can I use Python and MySQL to create a book?

Using Python and MySQL, you can create a book by doing the following:

1. Create a MySQL database in which to store the book's contents.
2. Use Python to connect to the database and create a table in which to store the book's contents.
3. Use Python to write code to populate the book's table with the book's content.

For example, the following code creates a table called book in the database bookstore and adds some content to it:

# Import MySQL Connector
import mysql.connector

# Connect to the database
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
    host="localhost",
    user="root",
    passwd="password",
    database="bookstore"
)

# Create a cursor
mycursor = mydb.cursor()

# Create a table
sql = "CREATE TABLE book (title VARCHAR(255), author VARCHAR(255), page_count INTEGER)"
mycursor.execute(sql)

# Add content to the table
sql = "INSERT INTO book (title, author, page_count) VALUES (%s, %s, %s)"
val = ("The Great Gatsby", "F. Scott Fitzgerald", 180)
mycursor.execute(sql, val)

# Commit the changes
mydb.commit()

This code creates a table called book with three columns: title, author, and page_count. It then adds a row to the table with the book title, author, and page count.
