Move data back and forth between database and application. The must-have knowledge in this book helps programmers learn how to use the official driver, MySQL Connector/Python, by which Python programs communicate with the MySQL database.
By the end of the book, you will be able to use MySQL as the back-end storage for your Python programs, and you’ll even have the option of choosing between SQL and NoSQL interfaces.
What You'll Learn
- Install MySQL Connector/Python
- Connect to MySQL and configure database access
- Execute SQL and NoSQL queries from your Python program
- Trap errors and troubleshoot problems
- Store data from different languages using MySQL’s character set support
- Work in the X DevAPI that underlies all of MySQL’s language connectors
Who This Book Is For
Developers familiar with Python who are looking at using MySQL as the back-end database. No prior knowledge of Connector/Python is assumed, but readers should be familiar with databases and the Python programming language.
