Python MySQL Tutorial - Creating Tables, Inserting & Selecting

[@arielmaritano6470]

I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I've learnt a ton from them. I can't thank you enough! 🙏🏻

[@oscargarciahinde4247]

I'm getting into SQL after neglecting it for years (didn't really need it in my job as an academic researcher) and your tutorials got me up and running in no time. Cheers mate!

[@Goutham-exists]

nah id win

[@cusematt23]

TIM, I used to think you weren't the greatest at explaining things and spoke a bit too generally. But I think I was absolutely wrong and just needed a slightly better base in computer science to follow along. Your videos are mastery (this series and the one on GIT I think in particular). Keep up the great work!

[@allegra13]

tim you have no idea how much you've saved me with your videos, THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH

[@jj342]

absolute great tutorial! so simple and easy to understand! Could you number your videos in the playlist? Might make it easier for people to follow along

[@darnellhill143]

Video super helpful!!! I am using the pymysql library, and I could not figure out why my inserts weren't reflecting on my MySQL DB.... I forgot to commit the changes. I made use of the autocommit expression. Thanks!!!

[@Atheawesome45]

Hey Tim! I’ve recently downloaded sublime text and was having issues installing the packages. I’ve checked your uploads and couldn’t find any video on your channel having to do with this subject. I’m certain that I’m not the only one who would be interested in seeing this kind of content. Nevertheless, keep up the great work and thank you for the educational content!

[@thilokeshjain6767]

I thought it would be very complicated but thanks to you sir feel like I can master this. Thanks a lot 👍.

[@pjb4764]

Great video! Could you please explain the “VALUES (%s, %s)”, (“Joe”, 22)? If I try formatting a string in this way the string is not formatted. Is there any resource online that explains this method?

[@Tirik00]

Great Video ! The code works but how is it possible to highlight the code and activate autofill like in the video ?

[@StraitBizness]

Thanks for the videos on this. It helped me out quite a bit with linking up mySQL and Python for a project I am working on.

[@muhammedfadhi789]

the way you explain... amazing...

[@TechWithTim]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@shreyasreedhar2068]

this is very helpful,.. just one thing: at 13:23, i get three such rows

[@sebastiengagneux2561]

Hello TIm! Your videos are very helpful in my daily work. Thanks. There is one topic that I am sure you can answer and will be very usefull for the community (and me as well :) ). it is about reading data from SQL in GO. Ex: I cannot find any answer about using the join method in sql for reading 2 tables, but in GOLANG. always based on 1 table.

[@Blu3_Spac3]

Only 1m subs??? you deserve more

[@Alan-yg8wc]

Hi Tim, what if I want to pass in a list with 2 elements with a name and age instead. How would that change the code? BTW I love your videos!

[@hosseindr.askari6161]

Thanks for your great explanation 🙂

[@TheShadyStudios]

you’re choosing the best things to work on m8 thank you

[@ayushpurohit8266]

is there a difference between using %s, .format() and f-strings?

[@dinonppa1]

Can you do a series like this but for sql server? Keep up the good work. Love all of your videos!

[@soulninjadev]

its very similar just google one or two things for the setup, rest everything is the same

[@pedrotorres5539]

Hi Tim, I have been trying to replicate your tutorial, however whwnever i run mycursor.execute("DESCRIBE Person") or mycursor.execute("SELECT * FROM Person") it doesn´t seem to store anything in my cursor in fact if i try to fetch it it sends an error saying there is nothing to fetch... Any ideas what might be happening (I already checked and the data base with the table and the info are created).

[@captainyaptin5811]

Is there any way you could make a quick video explaining how to do this with a Django project? Thank you!

Excellent. Thank you

[@johnygrits]

hello, I've been following your channel for sometime now. thanks for the uploads and great explanations. Where did you learn how to code? I am starting out on my own and would like some recommendations if you dont mind! Thanks again!

[@uncommoncharlie7]

Hi Tim , This video is really good. I'm stuck in one spot. When I tried to create the table I got an error that I have a reference error: weakly referenced object no longer exists. Do you know how to fix this? I've looked everywhere but nothing seems to be working.

[@thenaturelover5737]

nice work bro...thank u sooo much...👌👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@TheAmazingpower]

Nice video, only thing I would not recommend is using string commands on the execute function. SQL offers own ways for that. Otherwise your software/application will get vulnerable for a sql injection attack because users can insert malicious commands.

[@TechWithTim]

What string commands would you not recommend? I believe I did it properly with the formatting and the variables inserted in a tuple passed as a second argument to the execute method.

[@TheAmazingpower]

​@@TechWithTim Edit: Seems like I've been working with sqlite too long. I did some research and noted that the paramstyle for mysql is 'pyformat' which is %s in this case, whilst it is a '?' for sqlite for, %s should be legit here and sanitize the input. Sorry for the confusion. It also also good to mention that in this case the %s is not similar to the regular %s for string formation in a non sql string you would usually use for printing or for the generating a standard output string. The best method is to use parameterized querries, for example in Python sqlite you use the '?' sign: db.execute("INSERT INTO staff (person_id, lastname) VALUES (?, ?)", (51, "Mc'Donald")) You could use any predefined variables instead the number and string in the bracket as well. I think therefore the module got some build in protection other than using the regular string format option like %s, string templates or f-strings. In the worst case (with some user input in the programm) input like 'password' OR 1=1' could potentially break your querry. If you are more interested in that, you can look up the topic "SQL Injection" as well.

[@SatishKumar-mn6bi]

nice guidance by you. Hey I am also learning python for fun!

[@kailashrathod1089]

Make different video where you can just explain sql querries(in oracle or something like that) and then continue this series so that it will be easier for the people with no database knowlege that how querries actually works! Great video though!!!

[@sarthakkavidayal4968]

why are we using %s for integer value as well? %d is used for the integer value.

[@krokkozerro7582]

make video about opencv pls

[@wilbertraymundrayos4175]

Hello, I have a question regarding inserting. Is it possible to do this? "INSERT INTO %s (%s) VALUES (%s)" I tried it, but it gives me error. MySQL does not tell the exact error, it just says check the mysql version regarding the syntax. My theory is that the tuple automatically assigns a quotations in the values that are being passed in the %s. Since the table name must not contain quotations, it returns an error. My question is... Is there a way to do what i want to do? Which is to dynamically assign table name and column name.

[@EricRosenberg]

Fantastic tutorial, thanks! 👍

[@outdated7742]

what would be nice is you can make a video and connect your voice assistant with a database and when someone first run it it should ask for name,age ... and then use that info for e.x say hello + name

[@vietndk5437]

the string query in method execute() does not need the semi-colon ";". For me, the semi-colon is like a sign for user to know where the statement ends.

[@Kig_Ama]

But there is no semicolon.

[@ParkesBench]

I had the same problem and passing auth_plugin='mysql_native_password' did not work, because I accidentally installed mysql-connector instead of mysql-connector-python (via pip3). Just leaving this here in case it helps someone.

[@fernandohood5542]

Why do some people use ; after the commit?

[@abinayas6221]

Or any compiler

[@Kig_Ama]

11:08 I don't get it. Why not just type Tim, why use %s and type Tim afterwards anyway? What's the advantage?

[@Dalt0nik_]

As i get this, without those "%s" you can only write some hard numbers itself (just as he does in both ways, he right info itself, not a variable), while using them you can write any variable instead of "Tim" and "19". So %s is essential if you want to put there a variable.

[@Kig_Ama]

@@Dalt0nik_ Ty, I understand but at the end doesn't he hard code in this tutorial anyway?

[@Dalt0nik_]

@@Kig_Ama Yeah, he does, but I guess he just wanted to show us the best way to write it, so we could be able not only hard code. (Like if he couldn't mention this I would definitely think I can write a variable there without any %s)
