To install MySQLdb module, use the following command:

For Ubuntu, use the following command -


$ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libmysqlclient-dev
For Fedora, use the following command -
$ sudo dnf install python python-devel mysql-devel redhat-rpm-config gcc
For Python command prompt, use the following command -
pip install MySQL-python
#!/usr/bin/python

import MySQLdb

# Open database connection


db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost",root",root","TESTDB" )

# prepare a cursor object using cursor() method


cursor = db.cursor()

# execute SQL query using execute() method.


cursor.execute("SELECT VERSION()")

# Fetch a single row using fetchone() method.


data = cursor.fetchone()

print "Database version : %s " % data

# disconnect from server


db.close()
Let us create Database table EMPLOYEE:
#!/usr/bin/python
import MySQLdb
# Open database connection
db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost",root",root","TESTDB" )
# prepare a cursor object using cursor() method
cursor = db.cursor()
# Create table as per requirement
sql = """CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE (
FIRST_NAME CHAR(20) NOT NULL,
LAST_NAME CHAR(20),
AGE INT,
SEX CHAR(1),
INCOME FLOAT )"""
cursor.execute(sql)
# disconnect from server
db.close()
The following example, executes SQL INSERT statement to create a record into EMPLOYEE table
#!/usr/bin/python
import MySQLdb
# Open database connection
db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost",root",root","TESTDB" )
# prepare a cursor object using cursor() method
cursor = db.cursor()
# Prepare SQL query to INSERT a record into the database.
sql = """INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE(FIRST_NAME,
LAST_NAME, AGE, SEX, INCOME)
VALUES ('Mac', 'Mohan', 20, 'M', 2000)"""
try:
# Execute the SQL command
cursor.execute(sql)
# Commit your changes in the database
db.commit()
except:
# Rollback in case there is any error
db.rollback()
# disconnect from server
db.close()
The following procedure queries all the records from EMPLOYEE table having salary more than 1000

#!/usr/bin/python

import MySQLdb

# Open database connection

db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost",root",root","TESTDB" )

# prepare a cursor object using cursor() method

cursor = db.cursor()

sql = "SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE \

WHERE INCOME > '%d'" % (1000)

try:

# Execute the SQL command

cursor.execute(sql)

# Fetch all the rows in a list of lists.

results = cursor.fetchall()

for row in results:

fname = row[0]

lname = row[1]

age = row[2]

sex = row[3]

income = row[4]

# Now print fetched result

print "fname=%s,lname=%s,age=%d,sex=%s,income=%d" % \

(fname, lname, age, sex, income )

except:

print "Error: unable to fecth data"

# disconnect from server

db.close()
