python-mysqlHow do I use the Python MySQL connector?

The Python MySQL connector is a library that allows you to connect to a MySQL database and perform queries and other operations. It is available on the PyPI website.

To use the Python MySQL connector, you need to install it using the pip install mysql-connector-python command.

Once the connector is installed, you can use it to connect to a MySQL database and perform queries. For example:

import mysql.connector

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

# Create a cursor
mycursor = mydb.cursor()

# Execute a query
mycursor.execute("SELECT * FROM customers")

# Fetch all results
myresult = mycursor.fetchall()

# Print the results
for x in myresult:
  print(x)

# Output:
# (1, 'John', 'Highway 21')
# (2, 'Peter', 'Lowstreet 4')
# (3, 'Amy', 'Apple st 652')
# (4, 'Hannah', 'Mountain 21')
# (5, 'Michael', 'Valley 345')

The code above:

1. Imports the MySQL connector library.
2. Connects to the MySQL database.
3. Creates a cursor.
4. Executes a query.
5. Fetches the results.
6. Iterates over the results and prints them.

For more information on how to use the Python MySQL connector, you can refer to the official documentation.
