Prerequisite: Python: MySQL Create Table

In this article, we are going to see how to get the size of a table in MySQL using Python. Python allows the integration of a wide range of database servers with applications. A database interface is required to access a database from Python. MySQL Connector-Python module is an API in python for communicating with a MySQL database

Approach:

  • Set up a Database serving either locally or globally.
  • Install Python Connector inorder to communicate with Databases.
  • Establish Database Connection using a Connector.
  • Need to have a Table to insert data, Create a Table if you don’t have any.
  • Modify Data in Table [ CRUD operation ] using a cursor object returned by Connector.
  • Close the Database connection If you are done with it.

We are going to use this table:

 

Example 1: Adding one row into a Table with static values :

Syntax : "INSERT INTO table_name (column_name) VALUES ( valuesOfRow );"

Below is the implementation:

Python3
import mysql.connector  db = mysql.connector.connect(     host="localhost",     user="root",     passwd="root",     database="testdb" ) # getting the cursor by cursor() method mycursor = db.cursor()  insertQuery = "INSERT INTO Fruits (Fruit_name) VALUES ('Apple');"  mycursor.execute(insertQuery)  print("No of Record Inserted :", mycursor.rowcount)  # we can use the id to refer to that row later. print("Inserted Id :", mycursor.lastrowid)  # To ensure the Data Insertion, commit database. db.commit()   # close the Connection db.close() 

 Output:

No of Record Inserted : 1  Inserted Id : 1

How our table looks in SQL after insertion:

Example 2: Adding multiple rows into a table with static values :

Syntax : ''INSERT INTO table_name (column_name) 

                             VALUES ( valuesOfRow1),(valuesOfRow2),....(valuesOfRowN);''

Below is the implementation:

Python3
import mysql.connector  db = mysql.connector.connect(     host="localhost",     user="root",     passwd="root",     database="testdb" )  #getting the cursor by cursor() method mycursor = db.cursor()  insertQuery = '''INSERT INTO              Fruits (Fruit_name, Taste, Production_in )              VALUES ('Banana','Sweet',210);'''  mycursor.execute(insertQuery)  print("No of Record Inserted :", mycursor.rowcount)  # To ensure the data insertion, Always commit to the database. db.commit()  # close the Connection db.close() 

Output:

No of Record Inserted : 2
