How to convert SQL Query result to PANDAS Data Structure?

Question

Any help on this problem will be greatly appreciated.

So basically I want to run a query to my SQL database and store the returned data as Pandas data structure.

I have attached code for query.

I am reading the documentation on Pandas, but I have problem to identify the return type of my query.

I tried to print the query result, but it doesn't give any useful information.

Thanks!!!!

from sqlalchemy import create_engine

engine2 = create_engine('mysql://THE DATABASE I AM ACCESSING')
connection2 = engine2.connect()
dataid = 1022
resoverall = connection2.execute("
  SELECT 
      sum(BLABLA) AS BLA,
      sum(BLABLABLA2) AS BLABLABLA2,
      sum(SOME_INT) AS SOME_INT,
      sum(SOME_INT2) AS SOME_INT2,
      100*sum(SOME_INT2)/sum(SOME_INT) AS ctr,
      sum(SOME_INT2)/sum(SOME_INT) AS cpc
   FROM daily_report_cooked
   WHERE campaign_id = '%s'", %dataid)

So I sort of want to understand what's the format/datatype of my variable "resoverall" and how to put it with PANDAS data structure.

As noted below, pandas now uses SQLAlchemy to both read from (read_sql) and insert into (to_sql) a database. The following should work

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_sql(sql, cnxn)

Previous answer: Via mikebmassey from a similar question

import pyodbc
import pandas.io.sql as psql

cnxn = pyodbc.connect(connection_info) 
cursor = cnxn.cursor()
sql = "SELECT * FROM TABLE"

df = psql.frame_query(sql, cnxn)
cnxn.close()
