This tutorial will guide you through the process of using SQL databases with Python, focusing on MySQL as the database management system. You will learn how to set up your environment, connect to a database, and perform basic operations such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting records.PrerequisitesBefore you start, ensure you have the following installed:Python: Make sure Python is installed on your machine. You can download it from python.org.MySQL Server: You will need to have MySQL installed on your system to interact with it directly, run the commands, and set up the user permissions.Heres how you can install MySQL on your system:Install MySQL (if not already installed):Start MySQL service:Secure the installation (sets up the root password and other settings):Access MySQL: Once MySQL is installed, you can log in to the MySQL shell:MySQL Connector for Python: Install the MySQL connector using pip. Open your command line and run:Setting Up Your Python EnvironmentImport Required LibrariesEstablish a Connection to the DatabaseCreating a DatabaseTo create a new database, execute the following commands:Creating TablesOnce the database is created, you need to create tables within it. Heres how to create a simple teacher table:Inserting Data into TablesTo insert data into your teacher table, use the following code:Reading Data from TablesTo read data from the teacher table:Updating RecordsTo update an existing record in the table:Deleting RecordsTo delete a record from the table:Closing the ConnectionFinally, dont forget to close your cursor and connection once youre done:ConclusionThis tutorial covers the basics of using SQL databases with Python. You learned how to set up your environment, create a database and tables, and perform basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.
