Im trying to conennect to an sql database that its already created an that its located on a server. How can I connect to this database using python. Ive tried using java but I cant seem to get working either.
Well depending on what sql database you are using you can pip install pymssql for microsoft sql (mssql), psycopg2 for postgres (psql) or mysqldb for mysql databases Here are a few examples of using it
Microsoft sql
import pymssql
conn = pymssql.connect(server=server, user=user, password=password, database=db)
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT COUNT(MemberID) as count FROM Members WHERE id = 1")
row = cursor.fetchone()
conn.close()
print(row)
Postgres
import psycopg2
conn = psycopg2.connect(database=db, user=user, password=password, host=host, port="5432")
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute('SELECT COUNT(MemberID) as count FROM Members WHERE id = 1')
row = cursor.fetchone()
conn.close()
print(row)
mysql
import MySQLdb
conn = MySQLdb.connect(host=host, user=user, passwd=passwd, db=db)
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute('SELECT COUNT(MemberID) as count FROM Members WHERE id = 1')
row = cursor.fetchone()
conn.close()
print(row)
