Example

The following examples make use of a simple table

CREATETABLE `users` (
`id`int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`email`varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL,
`password`varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_bin
AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

importpymysql.cursors# Connect to the databaseconnection=pymysql.connect(host='localhost',
user='user',
password='passwd',
database='db',
cursorclass=pymysql.cursors.DictCursor)
withconnection:
withconnection.cursor() ascursor:
# Create a new recordsql="INSERT INTO `users` (`email`, `password`) VALUES (%s, %s)"cursor.execute(sql, ('webmaster@python.org', 'very-secret'))
# connection is not autocommit by default. So you must commit to save# your changes.connection.commit()
withconnection.cursor() ascursor:
# Read a single recordsql="SELECT `id`, `password` FROM `users` WHERE `email`=%s"cursor.execute(sql, ('webmaster@python.org',))
result=cursor.fetchone()
print(result)

This example will print:

{'password': 'very-secret', 'id': 1}
