Answer 1

import pymysql

# Open database connection
db = pymysql.connect("localhost","root","","gkdemo1")

# prepare a cursor object using cursor() method
cursor = db.cursor()

# execute SQL query using execute() method.
cursor.execute("SELECT * from user")

# Get the fields name (only once!)
field_name = [field[0] for field in cursor.description]

# Fetch a single row using fetchone() method.
values = cursor.fetchone()

# create the row dictionary to be able to call row['login']
**row = dict(zip(field_name, values))**

# print the dictionary
print(row)

# print specific field
print(**row['login']**)

# print all field
for key in row:
    print(**key," = ",row[key]**)

# close database connection
db.close()
