This package contains a pretty rough hack of the pure-Python MySQL client library. The goal of uPyMySQL is to be a drop-in replacement for MySQLdb and work on uPython.

NOTE: PyMySQL doesn't support low level APIs _mysql provides like data_seek, store_result, and use_result. You should use high level APIs defined in PEP 249. But some APIs like autocommit and ping are supported because PEP 249 doesn't cover their usecase. Ditto for uPyMySQL

Requirements

• uPython
• MySQL Server -- one of the following:
  • MySQL >= 4.1 (tested with only 5.5~)
  • MariaDB >= 5.1

Installation

Clone from Git and copy the upymysql folder onto your microcontroller Most likely directly copying onto your microcontroller will fail. You will likely need to re-compile micropython including upymysql into the firmware

Documentation

You're pretty much looking at it

Example

No Guarantees that these work yet:

The following examples make use of a simple table

CREATE TABLE `users` (
    `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `email` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL,
    `password` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin
AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

import upymysql
import upymysql.cursors

# Connect to the database
connection = upymysql.connect(host='localhost',
                             user='user',
                             password='passwd',
                             db='db',
                             charset='utf8mb4',
                             cursorclass=upymysql.cursors.DictCursor)

try:
    with connection.cursor() as cursor:
        # Create a new record
        sql = "INSERT INTO `users` (`email`, `password`) VALUES (%s, %s)"
        cursor.execute(sql, ('webmaster@python.org', 'very-secret'))

    # connection is not autocommit by default. So you must commit to save
    # your changes.
    connection.commit()

    with connection.cursor() as cursor:
        # Read a single record
        sql = "SELECT `id`, `password` FROM `users` WHERE `email`=%s"
        cursor.execute(sql, ('webmaster@python.org',))
        result = cursor.fetchone()
        print(result)
finally:
    connection.close()

This example will print:

{'password': 'very-secret', 'id': 1}
