8. Saving
Step 1 : Installation
Download and install
Python 3.7.2 and MySQL
5.1 on your computer
making sure that you
have enabled “ADD TO
PATH” check box while
installing both
Step 2 : PIP Installation
Open command prompt (your
system’s system client) and
type the following syntax
pip install mysql-connector
Step 3 : Importing module

Open a python file and

import the module by
typing the following
syntax:
import mysql.connector
Step 4 : Connecting to Database
After importing, establish a connectivity with your mysql
server from python by providing the host name, user name
and password by typing the following syntax:
<var>=mysql.connector.connect(host="localhost",user="<root
>",password="<root>"<,database=”<db>”>)
Step 5 : Creating
Cursor instance
After connecting to database,
check whether connection is
successful and create cursor
instance with the following
syntax.
Checking :
<db>.is_connected
Cursor :
<var>=<db>.connect
Step 6 : Executing Queries
Now you can execute queries
by using the following syntax:
<cursor>.execute(“<query>”)
Or
<var>=”<query>”
<cursor>.execute(var)
OR
Using variables in queries
There are 2 types of using variables
in queries:

➔ Old Style Format:

We use % as the variable and
then give the values in a tuple
after the query.

➔ New Style Format:

We use {} as the variable and
then give the values in a tuple
after .format after the query.
Old Style Format:

New Style Format:

Step 7 : Getting Output
After the select * command, use
<var>=<cursor>.[fetchall(),fetchone(),fetchmany(<n>)]
will generally give output in the form of tuples nested
in a list [(),(),()] .
In order to get separated rows, we use for loop.
for <i> in var:
print(i)
Step 8 : Saving
After every DDL statement make
sure you save it and make the
changes permanent by typing
the following syntax:
<db>.commit()
