Question

I\'m trying to write a dataframe to a MySQL table but am getting a (111 Connection refused) error.

I followed the accepted answer here: Writing to MySQL dat

Answer 1

Thanks to a tip from @AndyHayden, this answer was the trick. Basically replacing mysqlconnector with mysqldb was the linchpin.

engine = create_engine('mysql+mysqldb://[user]:[pass]@[host]:[port]/[schema]', echo = False)
df.to_sql(name = 'my_table', con = engine, if_exists = 'append', index = False)

Where [schema] is the database name, and in my particular case, :[port] is omitted with [host] being localhost.
