A connector is employed when we have to use mysql with other programming languages. The work ofmysql-connector is to provide access to MySQL Driver to the required language. Thus, it generates a connection between the programming language and the MySQL Server.
In order to make python interact with the MySQL database, we use Python-MySQL-Connector. Here we will try implementing SQL queries which will show the names of all the tables present in the database or server.
Syntax:
To show the name of tables present inside a database:
SHOW Tables;
To show the name of tables present inside a server:
SELECT table_name
FROM information_schema.tables;
Database in use:
Schema of the database usedThe following programs implement the same.
Example 1:Display table names present inside a database:
Python3importmysql.connectormydb=mysql.connector.connect(host="localhost",user="root",password="",database="gfg")mycursor=mydb.cursor()mycursor.execute("Show tables;")myresult=mycursor.fetchall()forxinmyresult:print(x)
Output:
Table names in gfg databaseExample 2: Display table names present inside a server:
Python3importmysql.connectormydb=mysql.connector.connect(host="localhost",user="root",password="",)mycursor=mydb.cursor()mycursor.execute("SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables;")myresult=mycursor.fetchall()forxinmyresult:print(x)
Output:
Table names in server
