Two-Mark Questions: Interfacing Python with MySQL

1. 1. What is the purpose of the `mysql.connector` module in Python?


- The `mysql.connector` module provides the necessary tools to connect and interact
with a MySQL database using Python.

2. 2. How do you establish a connection to a MySQL database in Python?


- Use the `mysql.connector.connect()` function, providing parameters like host, user,
password, and database.

3. 3. Write the syntax to import the `mysql.connector` module in Python.


- `import mysql.connector`

4. 4. Which method is used to execute SQL queries in Python after establishing a


connection?
- The `execute()` method of the `cursor` object is used to execute SQL queries.

5. 5. What is the function of the `commit()` method in MySQL Python connectivity?


- The `commit()` method is used to save changes made to the database during a
transaction.

6. 6. How do you retrieve the results of a SELECT query in Python?


- Use the `fetchall()` or `fetchone()` methods of the cursor object to retrieve query
results.

7. 7. What is the use of the `close()` method in MySQL Python integration?


- The `close()` method is used to close the database connection to free resources.

8. 8. Mention two common exceptions raised while working with MySQL in Python.
- `mysql.connector.errors.InterfaceError` and `mysql.connector.errors.DatabaseError`.

9. 9. What are placeholders in MySQL queries, and how are they used in Python?
- Placeholders are symbols like `%s` used in parameterized queries to avoid SQL
injection.
For example:
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO table_name (col1) VALUES (%s)", (value,))

10. 10. Write the command to create a cursor object in MySQL Python connectivity.
- `cursor = connection.cursor()`
11. 11. What is the difference between `fetchone()` and `fetchall()` methods?
- `fetchone()` retrieves a single record, whereas `fetchall()` retrieves all records from the
query result.

12. 12. What is the default port number for MySQL?


- The default port number for MySQL is **3306**.

13. 13. Write the command to delete a record from a table in MySQL using Python.
- Example:

cursor.execute("DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition")

14. 14. How can you handle errors during MySQL operations in Python?
- Use a `try-except` block to catch exceptions such as `mysql.connector.Erro

15. 15. What is the purpose of `cursor.rowcount`?


- The `cursor.rowcount` attribute returns the number of rows affected by the last
executed query.
