READ Operation
Categories: Python
READ Operation on any database means to fetch some useful information from the database.
Once our database connection is established, you are ready to make a query into this database. You can use either fetchone() method to fetch single record or fetchall() method to fetech multiple values from a database table.
fetchone() − It fetches the next row of a query result set. A result set is an object that is returned when a cursor object is used to query a table.
fetchall() − It fetches all the rows in a result set. If some rows have already been extracted from the result set, then it retrieves the remaining rows from the result set.
rowcount − This is a read-only attribute and returns the number of rows that were affected by an execute() method.
Update Operation
UPDATE Operation on any database means to update one or more records, which are already available in the database.
The following procedure updates all the records having SEX as 'M'. Here, we increase AGE of all the males by one year.
DELETE Operation
DELETE operation is required when you want to delete some records from your database. Following is the procedure to delete all the records from EMPLOYEE where AGE is more than 20.
