python-mysqlHow do I connect to a MySQL database using XAMPP and Python?
To connect to a MySQL database using XAMPP and Python, you will need to create a connection object, using the mysql.connector
module. The following example code will connect to a database named mydatabase
on a localhost server:
import mysql.connector
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
host="localhost",
user="yourusername",
passwd="yourpassword",
database="mydatabase"
)
print(mydb)
# Output: <mysql.connector.connection.MySQLConnection object at 0x7f3a1cf2f3d0>
The code consists of the following parts:
import mysql.connector
: This imports themysql.connector
module, which is used to connect to a MySQL database.mydb = mysql.connector.connect()
: This creates a connection object, which is used to connect to the database.host="localhost"
: This specifies the hostname of the server, which in this case islocalhost
.user="yourusername"
: This specifies the username used to access the database.passwd="yourpassword"
: This specifies the password used to access the database.database="mydatabase"
: This specifies the name of the database to connect to.print(mydb)
: This prints the connection object, which indicates that the connection was successful.
For more information, see the MySQL Connector/Python documentation.
