python-mysqlHow do I check the version of MySQL I am using with Python?
To check the version of MySQL you are using with Python, you can use the mysql-connector-python
library. This library provides an interface to connect to MySQL databases.
The following example code block shows how to connect to a MySQL database and retrieve the version information:
import mysql.connector
# Connect to the database
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
host="localhost",
user="yourusername",
passwd="yourpassword"
)
# Create a cursor
my_cursor = mydb.cursor()
# Execute a query to retrieve the version
my_cursor.execute("SELECT VERSION()")
# Fetch the result
version = my_cursor.fetchone()
# Print the version
print(version)
The output of the above code is:
('8.0.19',)
The code consists of the following parts:
import mysql.connector
: This imports the MySQL Connector/Python library.mydb = mysql.connector.connect(...)
: This creates a connection to the MySQL database.my_cursor = mydb.cursor()
: This creates a cursor object to execute queries.my_cursor.execute("SELECT VERSION()")
: This executes the query to retrieve the version information from the database.version = my_cursor.fetchone()
: This fetches the result of the query.print(version)
: This prints the version information.
For more information about the MySQL Connector/Python library, see the documentation.
