10.2.4 MySQLConnection.config() Method

Syntax:

cnx.config(**kwargs)

Configures aMySQLConnection instance after it has been instantiated. For a complete list of possible arguments, seeSection 7.1, “Connector/Python Connection Arguments”.

Arguments:

  • kwargs: Connection arguments.

You could use theconfig() method to change (for example) the user name, then callreconnect().

Example:

cnx = mysql.connector.connect(user='joe', database='test')# Connected as 'joe'cnx.config(user='jane')cnx.reconnect()# Now connected as 'jane'

For a connection obtained from a connection pool,config() raises an exception. SeeSection 9.5, “Connector/Python Connection Pooling”.
