    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

    How our table looks in SQL after insertion:
