I have a connection to mysql db and making queries with that but I need them write to file immediately, what is the easy way of do this ?
conn = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost",user="root",passwd="",db="mydb")
cursor = conn.cursor(MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM books")
..
You can use the codes above:(each row inserted as new lines)
conn = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost",user="root",passwd="",db="mydb")
cursor = conn.cursor(MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM books")
result_set = cursor.fetchall()
field_names = [val[0] for val in cursor.description]
with open('yourfile.txt', 'a') as f:
for row in result_set:
line = ','.join(row[field_name] for field_name in field_names)
f.write(line)
You can do this using the native File writer that comes with Python. Below is an example of how you would do that:
with open('/path/to/file.txt', 'w') as f:
conn = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost",user="root",passwd="",db="mydb")
cursor = conn.cursor(MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)
result = cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM books")
f.write(result)
TIP: Beware, setting the file mode to W will overwrite the file if it already exists
TIP: The file path must be relative to your executing python script
