Python MariaDB – Drop Table using PyMySQL
MariaDB is an open source Database Management System and its predecessor to MySQL. The pymysql client can be used to interact with MariaDB similar to that of MySQL using Python.
In this article we will look into the process of Dropping a table from a database using pymysql. To drop a table use any of the below syntax:
Syntax :
DROP TABLE tablename; DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tablename;
The following programs will help you understand this better.
Example 1 :
Program to demonstrate drop if exists. We will try to drop a table which does not exist in the above database.
Python3
import pymysql # Create a connection object # IP address of the MySQL database server Host = "localhost" # User name of the database server User = "user" # Password for the database user Password = "" database = "GFG" conn = pymysql.connect(host = Host, user = User, password = Password, database) # Create a cursor object cur = conn.cursor() query = f "DROP TABLE IF exists Employee" cur.execute(query) conn.close() |
Output :
- Before
- After
Example 2 :
Here we will drop the student table.
Python3
import pymysql # Create a connection object conn = pymysql.connect( 'localhost' , 'user' , 'password' , 'database' ) # Create a cursor object cur = conn.cursor() query = f "DROP TABLE IF exists Student" cur.execute(query) rows = cur.fetchall() conn.close() for row in rows : print (row) |
Output :
- Before
- After
