Using MySQL in Flask

Question

Can someone share example codes in Flask on how to access a MySQL DB? There have been documents showing how to connect to sqlite but not on MySQL.

Thank you very muc

Answer 1

Just add pymysql to your app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'mysql://username:password@server/db'

app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'mysql+pymysql://username:password@server/db'

All the best.
