Python: Number of rows affected by cursor.execute("SELECT …)

Question

How can I access the number of rows affected by:

cursor.execute(\"SELECT COUNT(*) from result where server_state=\'2\' AND name LIKE \'\"+digest+\"_\"+charse         


        

Answer 1

In my opinion, the simplest way to get the amount of selected rows is the following:

The cursor object returns a list with the results when using the fetch commands (fetchall(), fetchone(), fetchmany()). To get the selected rows just print the length of this list. But it just makes sense for fetchall(). ;-)

Example:

print len(cursor.fetchall)
