Lesson Objectives:
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
• Setup XAMPP as local web server
• Learn how to use phpMyAdmin as a free software tool in managing
databases, tables, columns, relations, indexes, users, permissions, etc.
• Learn how to connect flask to mysql database and you can insert the
form data.
• Build a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) web application with the
integration of HTML, CSS, Python (FLASK) and MySQL.

PYTHON MYSQL DATABASE ACCESS

XAMPP
• XAMPP is an open source software developed by Apache friends.
• This local server works on your own desktop or laptop computer.
• The use of XAMPP is to test the clients or your website before uploading it
to the remote web server.
SQL
• SQL stands for Structured Query Language
• SQL lets you access and manipulate databases

WHAT CAN SQL DO?

• SQL can execute queries against a database

• SQL can retrieve data from a database
• SQL can insert records in a database
• SQL can update records in a database
• SQL can delete records from a database
• SQL can create new databases
• SQL can create new tables in a database
• SQL can create stored procedures in a database
• SQL can create views in a database
• SQL can set permissions on tables, procedures, and views

SETUP YOUR LOCAL SERVER

1. Download XAMPP and install it.
2. Click start button of Apache and MySQL

3.
4. Click MySQL Admin button.

5. Go to User Accounts and click add user account

Note:

• phpMyAdmin is a free software tool written in PHP, intended to handle

the administration of MySQL over the Web.

• phpMyAdmin supports a wide range of operations on MySQL and

MariaDB. Frequently used operations (managing databases, tables,
columns, relations, indexes, users, permissions, etc) can be performed
via the user interface, while you still have the ability to directly execute
any SQL statement.

6. Setup you credentials and click check all box

7. Click Go to save changes

8. Click log-out
 CREATE DATABASE AND TABLE

1. Log-in Again to your phpMyAdmin and create database. Click New and
Input desire database name flask_db and press create button

Note: Databases are useful for storing information categorically.

2. Click the database and create the desire table name and numbers of column
and press Create to save Changes
 3.

Note: Auto-increment allows a unique number to be generated automatically

when a new record is inserted into a table.

Often this is the primary key field that we would like to be created automatically
every time a new record is inserted.

4. Open CMD and prompt(need an Internet Connection)

Code:

a. cd documents
b. cd f2
c. py –m venv env
d. env\Scripts\activate
 e. pip install flask
f. pip install Flask-MySQLdb.

Notification:
Running setup.py install for Flask-MySQLdb ... done
Successfully installed Flask-MySQLdb-0.2.0 mysqlclient-1.4.6

5. On your flask folder f2 create new text document save it as main. py and
new folder named templates and that will handle all html file. Copy the
code below for main.py

Import of SQL function

SQL credentials from

phpMyAdmin(depends on
whatdid you input)

POST method with route

the name of the html file

Variables and Request form

function for extraction of data
from input tag class name
SQL Command
Return html file

Note:

mysqlcursor.execute() Method

This method executes the given database operation (query or command). The
parameters found in the tuple or dictionary params are bound to the variables
in the operation. Specify variables using %s or %(name)s parameter style (that is,
using format or pyformat style). execute() returns an iterator if multi is True.

mysqlconnection.commit() Method

This method sends a COMMIT statement to the MySQL server, committing the
current transaction. Since by default Connector/Python does not autocommit, it
is important to call this method after every transaction that modifies data for
tables that use transactional storage engines.

6. Create html file inside templates folder and create a link

OUTPUT

7. Copy the code below and save it to main.py

Function name send()

Note: The INSERT INTO statement is used to insert new records in a table.
Copy the code below and save it to insert. html

OUTPUT
 8. Inside main.py add the code below for update function

Note: The UPDATE statement is used to modify the existing records in a table.
9. Create new file update.html save it to templates folder.
OUTPUT

10. Inside main.py add the code below for delete function

Note: The DELETE statement is used to delete existing records in a table

 11. Create new file delete.html save it to templates folder.

12. Inside main.py add the code below at the bottom part of the file

Note: The SELECT statement is used to select data from a database.

 13. Create select. Html save it to templates folder and copy the code below

OUTPUT
