mysql-python

I have a .sql file containing a bunch of SQL queries, with each query spanning multiple lines. I want to execute these queries in MySQL via Python using MySQLdb . sqlite3 has "a nonstandard shortcut" for this purpose called executescript() , but there doesn't seem to be any equivalent function in MySQLdb . I noticed this old question from 2 years ago which asks the same thing, but I found the answers unsatisfying. The answers are basically: Use subprocess to run the mysql command and send it your .sql file. This works, but it is rather inelegant, and it introduces unwanted complexity with

I'm trying to run an ETL script using python and MySQLdb but I'm stuck with the results from my initial extract query. The types returned are all Long and Decimal when I want Int and Float. I've searched around for a few hours trying to get an answer to this without any success. database = MySQLdb.connect(host='db',user='user', passwd='password', db='db123') database_cursor = database.cursor() database_query = ("SELECT id, siteId, campaignId, hour, sum(impressions) AS impressions, " "sum(clicks) AS clicks, sum(conversions) AS conversions, sum(costs/1000000) AS revenue " "FROM database.DM

I am following the steps in the Django Book and got to the part where the authors explain hot wo set up a django project to use a database. I chose mysql. My settings in settings.py are: DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'. 'NAME': 'mydatabase', # Or path to database file if using sqlite3. 'USER': 'myname', # Not used with sqlite3. 'PASSWORD': 'mypassword', # Not used with sqlite3. 'HOST': '', # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3. 'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3. } }

Is it okay to use a single MySQLdb connection for multiple transactions without closing the connection between them? In other words, something like this: conn = MySQLdb.connect(host="1.2.3.4", port=1234, user="root", passwd="x", db="test") for i in range(10): try: cur = conn.cursor() query = "DELETE FROM SomeTable WHERE ID = %d" % i cur.execute(query) cur.close() conn.commit() except Exception: conn.rollback() conn.close() It seems to work okay, but I just wanted to double check. I think there is a misunderstanding about what constitutes a transaction here. Your example opens up one connection
