Python Connector for MySQL

Connecting databases to development working environments can have many advantages and can help achieve better interoperability, as well as higher efficiency when it comes to transmitting data and receiving it for further processing.

There are many examples of scenarios requiring such functionality, and one of them is linking MySQL databases and servers to Python-based applications.

For such endeavors, users can rely on connectivity solutions such as Python Connector for MySQL. This library, just as its name implies, was designed specifically in order to facilitate users when wanting to connect their Python development environment to MySQL and MariaDB servers, for a multitude of tasks and operations.

These operations can pertain to a range of tasks, involving the creation, reading, updating, and deleting stored database data. The connector comes sporting the Python DB API 2.0 specification and is provided in both 32 and 64-bit deployments.

When using this connector, one will be able to achieve the desired connectivity to the MySQL or MariaDB databases and corresponding servers by relying on a direct connection, which renders the need for a database client library obsolete.

This connection type increases the speed of the data transmission between the database servers and the preferred Python applications.
