Best and easiest way to print MySQL results into MySQL Table format using Python Library tabulate

Python Code:

from tabulate import tabulate

mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
                host="localhost",
                user="root",
                passwd="password",
                database="testDB"
              )

mycursor = mydb.cursor()
mycursor.execute("SELECT emp_name, salary FROM emp_table")
myresult = mycursor.fetchall()


print(tabulate(myresult, headers=['EmpName', 'EmpSalary'], tablefmt='psql'))

Output:
