To execute a batch insert into a MySQL database using Python, you need to do the following:
- Establish a connection to the database:
import mysql.connector
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
host="localhost",
user="yourusername",
password="yourpassword"
)
mycursor = mydb.cursor()
- Create a list of values to insert:
sql_values = [
('John', 'Highway 21'),
('Peter', 'Lowstreet 4'),
('Amy', 'Apple st 652'),
('Hannah', 'Mountain 21'),
('Michael', 'Valley 345'),
('Sandy', 'Ocean blvd 2'),
('Betty', 'Green Grass 1'),
('Richard', 'Sky st 331'),
('Susan', 'One way 98'),
('Vicky', 'Yellow Garden 2'),
('Ben', 'Park Lane 38'),
('William', 'Central st 954'),
('Chuck', 'Main Road 989'),
('Viola', 'Sideway 1633')
]
- Create the SQL query:
sql = "INSERT INTO customers (name, address) VALUES (%s, %s)"
- Execute the query using the
executemany()
method:
mycursor.executemany(sql, sql_values)
mydb.commit()
print(mycursor.rowcount, "record inserted.")
Output example
14 records inserted.
- Close the connection:
mycursor.close()
mydb.close()
