The Employee Management System is a Python script that allows users to manage employee records stored in a MySQL database. It provides basic CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) for employees, as well as functionality to generate salary slips.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• mysql-connector-python library (can be installed via pip install mysql-connector-python)

Setup

Database Setup

1. MySQL Setup:

   • Install MySQL Server if not already installed.
   • Create a database named company using MySQL client or MySQL Workbench.

2. Schema Setup:

   • Use the provided schema.sql file to create the necessary table structure within the company database.
   • Example SQL command to create the emp table:

     CREATETABLEemp (
     empno INTPRIMARY KEY,
     ename VARCHAR(50),
     dept VARCHAR(50),
     salary INT
     );

Running the Script

1. Clone or download the project repository to your local machine.

2. Navigate to the project directory.

3. Modify employee_mgmt.py to set your MySQL database connection details (host, user, password, database).

4. Open a terminal or command prompt.

5. Run the script using the following command: python scripts/employee_mgmt.py

Choose an option by entering the corresponding number and follow the prompts to perform the desired operation.

Functionality
