Example

The following examples make use of a simple table

CREATETABLE`users`(
`id`int(11)NOTNULLAUTO_INCREMENT,
`email`varchar(255)COLLATEutf8_binNOTNULL,
`password`varchar(255)COLLATEutf8_binNOTNULL,
PRIMARYKEY(`id`)
)ENGINE=InnoDBDEFAULTCHARSET=utf8mb4COLLATE=utf8mb4_bin
AUTO_INCREMENT=1;

importpymysql.cursors

# Connect to the database
connection = pymysql.connect(host='localhost',
 user='user',
 password='passwd',
 database='db',
 cursorclass=pymysql.cursors.DictCursor)

with connection:
 with connection.cursor() as cursor:
 # Create a new record
 sql = "INSERT INTO `users` (`email`, `password`) VALUES (%s, %s)"
 cursor.execute(sql, ('webmaster@python.org', 'very-secret'))

 # connection is not autocommit by default. So you must commit to save
 # your changes.
 connection.commit()

 with connection.cursor() as cursor:
 # Read a single record
 sql = "SELECT `id`, `password` FROM `users` WHERE `email`=%s"
 cursor.execute(sql, ('webmaster@python.org',))
 result = cursor.fetchone()
 print(result)

This example will print:

{'password': 'very-secret', 'id': 1}
