The mysql-connector-python library is commonly used to interact with MySQL databases.

  1. Install the Library:
    • Use pip to install the MySQL connector.
    pip install mysql-connector-python
    
  2. Connect to the Database:
    • Use mysql.connector.connect() with the appropriate credentials.
  3. Code Example:

    import mysql.connector
    
    db = mysql.connector.connect(
        host="localhost",
        user="yourusername",
        passwd="yourpassword",
        database="mydatabase"
    )
    
    cursor = db.cursor()
    cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM customers")
    result = cursor.fetchall()
    for x in result:
        print(x)
    


  4. Explanation:
    • Replace the connection parameters with your actual database credentials.
    • Use a cursor to execute SQL queries and fetch results.
