pyodbc and mySQL

Question

I am unable to connect to mySQl db using pyodbc.

Here is a snippet of my script:

import pyodbc
import csv

cnxn = pyodbc.connect(\"DRIVER={MySQL ODBC         


        

Answer 1

Is that your driver name right?

You can check your driver name in Windows -> Control panel -> System and security -> Administrative tools -> ODBC Data Sources -> Driver tab then copy the river name to the first parameter

like

cnxn = pyodbc.connect("DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 5.3 ANSI Driver}; SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=books; UID=root; PASSWORD=password;")

And my problem solved

or you may not install the driver and the step is simple.
