For context here is my code

#connection config
connection = pymysql.connect(host=endpoint,user=username,passwd=password,db=database_name)
def handler():
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM Reads')
rows = cursor.fetchall()
for row in rows:
print("{0} {1} {2} {3}".format(row[0], row[1], row[2], row[3]))
handler()
I have 2 other tables in my database which work fine when i query them however this table seems to be the only one causing an error.
Feel free to ask for more if this is too vague

It's worth checking manual in cases like this - and Reads is a reserved word therefore must be backticked - better still don't use reserved words or you will forever have to remember to backtick in code..

python + mysql Unknown character set: 'utf8mb4'

I was trying to connect the mysql with python.
import mysql.connector
db = mysql.connector.connect()
Uptill this point everything was fine. But after this when I started specifying the attributes of the connect command, using the code bellow
import mysql.connector
db = mysql.connector.connect(
host = "localhost", #specifies the host computer(in this case this computer only)
user = "root", #specifies the user
passwd = "<my password was here>"
)
this error came up on running the code,

how do I rectify this? Please help me out. Thanks!!

Use charset="utf8" while creating the connection object .
If your characters actually use the superset utf8mb4 then this may cause problems, but if not, then this should work!
import mysql.connector
db = mysql.connector.connect(
host = "localhost", #specifies the host computer(in this case this computer only)
user = "root", #specifies the user
passwd = "<my password was here>",
charset = "utf8"
)

PyMySQL Access Denied "using password (no") but using password

Headscratcher here for me.
I am attempting to connect to a database on my local MySQL 8.0.11.0 install from Python.
Here's the code I'm using :
conn = pymysql.connect(host='localhost', port=3306, user='root', password='placeholder', db='CustomerInfo')
Python is returning the following :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Python\FileCheck.py", line 38, in <module>
conn = pymysql.connect(host='localhost', port=3306, user='root', password='placeholder', db='CustomerInfo')

raise errorclass(errno, errval)
pymysql.err.OperationalError: (1045, "Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)")
I have confirmed that I have access to the database when logging in through MySQL Workbench. The weird thing is that Python is telling me "using password: NO" even though I'm sending a password.
I've tried changing passwd to "password" in the script and creating a new user with the appropriate privileges. Neither has worked.
Not sure what to check next.

EDIT 2:
Added debug lines to connect and _request_authentication in connections.py.
Here's the latest:
C:\Users\Paul Miller>python.exe D:\Python\FileCheck.py

EDIT 3: Enabled logging. No surprises in the log, but here's what the latest attempt generated:
2018-05-15T10:27:15.197445Z 43 Connect root#localhost on CustomerInfo using TCP/IP
2018-05-15T10:27:15.197540Z 43 Connect Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
EDIT 4: Found the problem. I added some debug statements as follows:
if self._auth_plugin_name in ('', 'mysql_native_password'):
print("** DEBUG 3 **")
print(self.password)
print("\n")
authresp = _scramble(self.password.encode('latin1'), self.salt)
The problem is this IF block fails... program flow isn't getting to the "authresp" statement. When a peer of mine runs this same program, his passwords prints in the console.
So, now I just need to figure out why I'm not going down this branch.

Resolved the issue after downgrading MySQL from 8.0.11.0 to 5.7.22.
In addition to what I listed in my original question, I also tried the following:
Installed lower version of PyMySQL (0.8.1 to 0.8.0 in my case)
Completely removed both versions of PyMySQL and installed v0.8.0
Removed MySQL 8.0 and reinstalled
When none of the above worked, I downgraded MySQL to v5.7, which is what one of my peers is using. That resolved the error.

One possible cause of this issue is a PyMySQL version 0.8.x or lower. If this is the case, the issue could be resolved by upgrading it in pip to PyMySQL==0.9.3.

That is strange. I would install pymysql in a virtual environment and then drop some debugging lines in this function:
https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/master/pymysql/connections.py#L940
That should show what variables its actually using for the connection and make it obvious what is wrong.

Error when connecting to sql using Python

I am using Python library pymssql to connect to a database. I have never used it before so the error might look trivial.
from os import getenv
import pymssql
server = getenv("192.xxx.xxx.xx")
user = getenv("john.constantine")
password = getenv("xxxxxxx")
conn = pymssql.connect(server, user, password, "tempdb")
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute('SELECT * from table')
rows = cursor.fetchall()
for row in rows:
print row
conn.close()
I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Documents\Demo_DB.py", line 8, in <module>

I connect to DB using these credentials.

Grand privilage to the user and ip trying to access the MySQL table using the Python code. To do the same, execute the following commands in the mysql shell.
GRANT <privileges> ON database.* TO 'user'#'ip' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
flush privileges;
