To connect Python to a MySQL database, you can use the mysql.connector
module. This module is part of the MySQL Connector/Python package.
In order to connect to a MySQL database, you will need to have the following information:
- Host name (e.g.
localhost
or127.0.0.1
) - User name
- Password
- Database name
The following example code connects to a MySQL database and prints out the version of the MySQL server:
import mysql.connector
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
host="localhost",
user="yourusername",
passwd="yourpassword",
database="mydatabase"
)
print(mydb.get_server_info())
8.0.19
