python-mysqlHow do I install the Python MySQL driver?

1. Install the Python MySQL driver using the pip package manager.

   pip install mysql-connector-python

2. To connect to a MySQL database, you need to use the Connect() method of the mysql.connector module.

   import mysql.connector
   conn = mysql.connector.connect(host="localhost",user="yourusername",password="yourpassword")

3. Once you have connected to the database, you can execute queries using the execute() method.

   cursor = conn.cursor()
   cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM employees")

4. To fetch the results of the query, you can use the fetchall() method.

   rows = cursor.fetchall()

5. Don't forget to close the connection to the database when you're done.

   conn.close()
