Create table in mysql using Python programming language

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system commonly used in web applications. Python is a powerful programming language known for its simplicity and ease of use. In this tutorial, we will be exploring how to establish a connection to a MySQL database using Python and how to create a table. This tutorial is suitable for beginners who are interested in learning how to use Python to interact with MySQL databases.

How to create table in MySQL with Python :

• Follow the steps given below to create table in MySQL with python 
  • Step 1: Install the required Packages
  • Step 2: Establishing a Connection to the MySQL Server
  • Step 3: Create a Cursor Object
  • Step 4: Create a MySQL Table
  • Step 5: Commit the changes

Step 1: Install the Required Packages

• The first step is to ensure that you have installed the required packages on your machine.
• The most popular packages for connecting to MySQL in Python are 
  • mysql-connector and 
  • PyMySQL.
• You can install these packages using pip through the command line.
• Example:

!pip install mysql-connector-python
!pip install PyMySQL

Step 2: Connect to the MySQL Database

• To create a new database in MySQL using Python, we must have a connection to the MySQL server.
• To connect to a MySQL server in Python we can use either 
  • mysql.connector or 
  • PyMySQL package 
• We need to provide the necessary connection parameters to establish the connection.
• We need to pass the following parameters to the Connection object: 
  • host : the hostname  of the MySQL server user 
  • username : username for the MySQL account
  • password : password for the MySQL account database
  • name of the database : Db name to connect to 
• To study package specific code for connecting to MySQL read our tutorial on connecting to MySQL server.

Step 3: Create a Cursor Object

• After establishing a connection to the MySQL server, your next step is to create a cursor object.
• This is done using the cursor() method provided by mysql.connector or PyMySQL.
• Example:

cursor = mydb.cursor()

Step 4: Create a MySQL Table

• With a cursor object, you can now create a new table on the MySQL server.
• This is done using SQL query CREATE TABLE.
• Example:

# Create table
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE customers (name VARCHAR(255), address VARCHAR(255))")

#Print message to confirm table creation
print("Table created successfully!")

Step 5: Commit the changes

• Finally, make sure to commit the changes to the MySQL table 
• This can be done using the commit() method provided by mydb.
• Example:

mydb.commit()

#Print message to confirm changes
print("Changes successfully saved to the database!")
