MySQL C API translation
The MySQL C API has been wrapped in an object-oriented way. The only MySQL data structures which are implemented are the MYSQL (database connection handle) and MYSQL_RES (result handle) types. In general, any function which takes MYSQL *mysql as an argument is now a method of the connection object, and any function which takes MYSQL_RES *result as an argument is a method of the result object. Functions requiring none of the MySQL data structures are implemented as functions in the module. Functions requiring one of the other MySQL data structures are generally not implemented. Deprecated functions are not implemented. In all cases, the mysql_ prefix is dropped from the name. Most of the conn methods listed are also available as MySQLdb Connection object methods. Their use is non-portable.

Some _mysql examples
Okay, so you want to use _mysql anyway. Here are some examples.
The simplest possible database connection is:
import _mysql
db=_mysql.connect()
This creates a connection to the MySQL server running on the local machine using the standard UNIX socket (or named pipe on Windows), your login name (from the USER environment variable), no password, and does not USE a database. Chances are you need to supply more information.:
db=_mysql.connect("localhost","joebob","moonpie","thangs")
This creates a connection to the MySQL server running on the local machine via a UNIX socket (or named pipe), the user name "joebob", the password "moonpie", and selects the initial database "thangs".
We haven't even begun to touch upon all the parameters connect() can take. For this reason, I prefer to use keyword parameters:
db=_mysql.connect(host="localhost",user="joebob",
passwd="moonpie",db="thangs")
This does exactly what the last example did, but is arguably easier to read. But since the default host is "localhost", and if your login name really was "joebob", you could shorten it to this:
db=_mysql.connect(passwd="moonpie",db="thangs")
UNIX sockets and named pipes don't work over a network, so if you specify a host other than localhost, TCP will be used, and you can specify an odd port if you need to (the default port is 3306):
db=_mysql.connect(host="outhouse",port=3307,passwd="moonpie",db="thangs")
If you really had to, you could connect to the local host with TCP by specifying the full host name, or 127.0.0.1.
Generally speaking, putting passwords in your code is not such a good idea:
db=_mysql.connect(host="outhouse",db="thangs",read_default_file="~/.my.cnf")
This does what the previous example does, but gets the username and password and other parameters from ~/.my.cnf (UNIX-like systems). Read about option files for more details.
So now you have an open connection as db and want to do a query. Well, there are no cursors in MySQL, and no parameter substitution, so you have to pass a complete query string to db.query():
db.query("""SELECT spam, eggs, sausage FROM breakfast
WHERE price < 5""")
There's no return value from this, but exceptions can be raised. The exceptions are defined in a separate module, _mysql_exceptions, but _mysql exports them. Read DB API specification PEP-249 to find out what they are, or you can use the catch-all MySQLError.
At this point your query has been executed and you need to get the results. You have two options:
r=db.store_result()
# ...or...
r=db.use_result()
Both methods return a result object. What's the difference? store_result() returns the entire result set to the client immediately. If your result set is really large, this could be a problem. One way around this is to add a LIMIT clause to your query, to limit the number of rows returned. The other is to use use_result(), which keeps the result set in the server and sends it row-by-row when you fetch. This does, however, tie up server resources, and it ties up the connection: You cannot do any more queries until you have fetched all the rows. Generally I recommend using store_result() unless your result set is really huge and you can't use LIMIT for some reason.
Now, for actually getting real results:
>>> r.fetch_row()
(('3','2','0'),)
This might look a little odd. The first thing you should know is, fetch_row() takes some additional parameters. The first one is, how many rows (maxrows) should be returned. By default, it returns one row. It may return fewer rows than you asked for, but never more. If you set maxrows=0, it returns all rows of the result set. If you ever get an empty tuple back, you ran out of rows.
The second parameter (how) tells it how the row should be represented. By default, it is zero which means, return as a tuple. how=1 means, return it as a dictionary, where the keys are the column names, or table.column if there are two columns with the same name (say, from a join). how=2 means the same as how=1 except that the keys are always table.column; this is for compatibility with the old Mysqldb module.
OK, so why did we get a 1-tuple with a tuple inside? Because we implicitly asked for one row, since we didn't specify maxrows.
The other oddity is: Assuming these are numeric columns, why are they returned as strings? Because MySQL returns all data as strings and expects you to convert it yourself. This would be a real pain in the ass, but in fact, _mysql can do this for you. (And MySQLdb does do this for you.) To have automatic type conversion done, you need to create a type converter dictionary, and pass this to connect() as the conv keyword parameter.
The keys of conv should be MySQL column types, which in the C API are FIELD_TYPE_*. You can get these values like this:
from MySQLdb.constants import FIELD_TYPE
By default, any column type that can't be found in conv is returned as a string, which works for a lot of stuff. For our purposes, we probably want this:
my_c FIELD_TYPE.LONG: int }
This means, if it's a FIELD_TYPE_LONG, call the builtin int() function on it. Note that FIELD_TYPE_LONG is an INTEGER column, which corresponds to a C long, which is also the type used for a normal Python integer. But beware: If it's really an UNSIGNED INTEGER column, this could cause overflows. For this reason, MySQLdb actually uses long() to do the conversion. But we'll ignore this potential problem for now.
Then if you use db=_mysql.connect(c the results will come back ((3, 2, 0),), which is what you would expect.
MySQLdb
MySQLdb is a thin Python wrapper around _mysql which makes it compatible with the Python DB API interface (version 2). In reality, a fair amount of the code which implements the API is in _mysql for the sake of efficiency.
The DB API specification PEP-249 should be your primary guide for using this module. Only deviations from the spec and other database-dependent things will be documented here.
Functions and attributes
Only a few top-level functions and attributes are defined within MySQLdb.
connect(parameters...)
Constructor for creating a connection to the database. Returns a Connection Object. Parameters are the same as for the MySQL C API. In addition, there are a few additional keywords that correspond to what you would pass mysql_options() before connecting. Note that some parameters must be specified as keyword arguments! The default value for each parameter is NULL or zero, as appropriate. Consult the MySQL documentation for more details. The important parameters are:
host
name of host to connect to. Default: use the local host via a UNIX socket (where applicable)
user
user to authenticate as. Default: current effective user.
passwd
password to authenticate with. Default: no password.
db
database to use. Default: no default database.
port
TCP port of MySQL server. Default: standard port (3306).
unix_socket
location of UNIX socket. Default: use default location or TCP for remote hosts.
conv
type conversion dictionary. Default: a copy of MySQLdb.converters.conversions
compress
Enable protocol compression. Default: no compression.
connect_timeout
Abort if connect is not completed within given number of seconds. Default: no timeout (?)
named_pipe
Use a named pipe (Windows). Default: don't.
init_command
Initial command to issue to server upon connection. Default: Nothing.
read_default_file
MySQL configuration file to read; see the MySQL documentation for mysql_options().
read_default_group
Default group to read; see the MySQL documentation for mysql_options().
cursorclass
cursor class that cursor() uses, unless overridden. Default: MySQLdb.cursors.Cursor. This must be a keyword parameter.
use_unicode
If True, CHAR and VARCHAR and TEXT columns are returned as Unicode strings, using the configured character set. It is best to set the default encoding in the server configuration, or client configuration (read with read_default_file). If you change the character set after connecting (MySQL-4.1 and later), you'll need to put the correct character set name in connection.charset.
If False, text-like columns are returned as normal strings, but you can always write Unicode strings.
This must be a keyword parameter.
charset
If present, the connection character set will be changed to this character set, if they are not equal. Support for changing the character set requires MySQL-4.1 and later server; if the server is too old, UnsupportedError will be raised. This option implies use_unicode=True, but you can override this with use_unicode=False, though you probably shouldn't.
If not present, the default character set is used.
This must be a keyword parameter.
ssl
This parameter takes a dictionary or mapping, where the keys are parameter names used by the mysql_ssl_set MySQL C API call. If this is set, it initiates an SSL connection to the server; if there is no SSL support in the client, an exception is raised. This must be a keyword parameter.
apilevel
String constant stating the supported DB API level. '2.0'
threadsafety
Integer constant stating the level of thread safety the interface supports. This is set to 1, which means: Threads may share the module.
The MySQL protocol can not handle multiple threads using the same connection at once. Some earlier versions of MySQLdb utilized locking to achieve a threadsafety of 2. While this is not terribly hard to accomplish using the standard Cursor class (which uses mysql_store_result()), it is complicated by SSCursor (which uses mysql_use_result(); with the latter you must ensure all the rows have been read before another query can be executed. It is further complicated by the addition of transactions, since transactions start when a cursor execute a query, but end when COMMIT or ROLLBACK is executed by the Connection object. Two threads simply cannot share a connection while a transaction is in progress, in addition to not being able to share it during query execution. This excessively complicated the code to the point where it just isn't worth it.
The general upshot of this is: Don't share connections between threads. It's really not worth your effort or mine, and in the end, will probably hurt performance, since the MySQL server runs a separate thread for each connection. You can certainly do things like cache connections in a pool, and give those connections to one thread at a time. If you let two threads use a connection simultaneously, the MySQL client library will probably upchuck and die. You have been warned.
For threaded applications, try using a connection pool. This can be done using the Pool module.
charset
The character set used by the connection. In MySQL-4.1 and newer, it is possible (but not recommended) to change the connection's character set with an SQL statement. If you do this, you'll also need to change this attribute. Otherwise, you'll get encoding errors.
paramstyle
String constant stating the type of parameter marker formatting expected by the interface. Set to 'format' = ANSI C printf format codes, e.g. '...WHERE name=%s'. If a mapping object is used for conn.execute(), then the interface actually uses 'pyformat' = Python extended format codes, e.g. '...WHERE name=%(name)s'. However, the API does not presently allow the specification of more than one style in paramstyle.
Note that any literal percent signs in the query string passed to execute() must be escaped, i.e. %%.
Parameter placeholders can only be used to insert column values. They can not be used for other parts of SQL, such as table names, statements, etc.
conv
A dictionary or mapping which controls how types are converted from MySQL to Python and vice versa.
If the key is a MySQL type (from FIELD_TYPE.*), then the value can be either:
a callable object which takes a string argument (the MySQL value),' returning a Python value
a sequence of 2-tuples, where the first value is a combination of flags from MySQLdb.constants.FLAG, and the second value is a function as above. The sequence is tested until the flags on the field match those of the first value. If both values are None, then the default conversion is done. Presently this is only used to distinquish TEXT and BLOB columns.
If the key is a Python type or class, then the value is a callable Python object (usually a function) taking two arguments (value to convert, and the conversion dictionary) which converts values of this type to a SQL literal string value.
This is initialized with reasonable defaults for most types. When creating a Connection object, you can pass your own type converter dictionary as a keyword parameter. Otherwise, it uses a copy of MySQLdb.converters.conversions. Several non-standard types are returned as strings, which is how MySQL returns all columns. For more details, see the built-in module documentation.
Connection Objects
Connection objects are returned by the connect() function.
commit()
If the database and the tables support transactions, this commits the current transaction; otherwise this method successfully does nothing.
rollback()
If the database and tables support transactions, this rolls back (cancels) the current transaction; otherwise a NotSupportedError is raised.
cursor([cursorclass])
MySQL does not support cursors; however, cursors are easily emulated. You can supply an alternative cursor class as an optional parameter. If this is not present, it defaults to the value given when creating the connection object, or the standard Cursor class. Also see the additional supplied cursor classes in the usage section.
There are many more methods defined on the connection object which are MySQL-specific. For more information on them, consult the internal documentation using pydoc.
Cursor Objects
callproc(procname, args)
Calls stored procedure procname with the sequence of arguments in args. Returns the original arguments. Stored procedure support only works with MySQL-5.0 and newer.
Compatibility note: PEP-249 specifies that if there are OUT or INOUT parameters, the modified values are to be returned. This is not consistently possible with MySQL. Stored procedure arguments must be passed as server variables, and can only be returned with a SELECT statement. Since a stored procedure may return zero or more result sets, it is impossible for MySQLdb to determine if there are result sets to fetch before the modified parmeters are accessible.
The parameters are stored in the server as @_*procname*_*n*, where n is the position of the parameter. I.e., if you cursor.callproc('foo', (a, b, c)), the parameters will be accessible by a SELECT statement as @_foo_0, @_foo_1, and @_foo_2.
Compatibility note: It appears that the mere act of executing the CALL statement produces an empty result set, which appears after any result sets which might be generated by the stored procedure. Thus, you will always need to use nextset() to advance result sets.
close()
Closes the cursor. Future operations raise ProgrammingError. If you are using server-side cursors, it is very important to close the cursor when you are done with it and before creating a new one.
info()
Returns some information about the last query. Normally you don't need to check this. If there are any MySQL warnings, it will cause a Warning to be issued through the Python warning module. By default, Warning causes a message to appear on the console. However, it is possible to filter these out or cause Warning to be raised as exception. See the MySQL docs for mysql_info(), and the Python warning module. (Non-standard)
setinputsizes()
Does nothing, successfully.
setoutputsizes()
Does nothing, successfully.
nextset()
Advances the cursor to the next result set, discarding the remaining rows in the current result set. If there are no additional result sets, it returns None; otherwise it returns a true value.
Note that MySQL doesn't support multiple result sets until 4.1.
Some examples
The connect() method works nearly the same as with _mysql:
import MySQLdb
db=MySQLdb.connect(passwd="moonpie",db="thangs")
To perform a query, you first need a cursor, and then you can execute queries on it:
c=db.cursor()
max_price=5
c.execute("""SELECT spam, eggs, sausage FROM breakfast
WHERE price < %s""", (max_price,))
In this example, max_price=5 Why, then, use %s in the string? Because MySQLdb will convert it to a SQL literal value, which is the string '5'. When it's finished, the query will actually say, "...WHERE price < 5".
Why the tuple? Because the DB API requires you to pass in any parameters as a sequence. Due to the design of the parser, (max_price) is interpreted as using algebraic grouping and simply as max_price and not a tuple. Adding a comma, i.e. (max_price,) forces it to make a tuple.
And now, the results:
>>> c.fetchone()
(3L, 2L, 0L)
