Connect to MySQL db from Jupyter notebook

Question

I am using Jupyter Notebooks to learn Python. I would like to connect to a MySQL db hosted locally hosted through MAMP. How would I approach this?

Answer 1

Yes, you can. You can use the MySQL Connector library. Simply install it using pip, and then you can use it to interact with your database. See the sample code below:

import mysql.connector

db = mysql.connector.connect(
   host="localhost",
   user="mamp",
   passwd=""
)

print(db)
