I am trying to connect to a database that needs proxy (socks) to be able to connect, if I use the proxy connection manually, I can connect, but I need to make the script connect to the proxy (socks) of the machine to make this SELECT
SCRIPT
import socket
import socks
import requests
import pymssql
socks.set_default_proxy(socks.SOCKS5, "138.34.133.155", 1080, True, 'user','password')
socket.socket = socks.socksocket
server = '172.43.56.89'
username = 'user'
password = 'password'
database = 'dbname'
conn = requests.get(pymssql.connect(host=server,user=username,password=password,database=database))
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT column FROM table")
row = cursor.fetchall()
conn.close()
for i in row:
print(i)
OUTPUT
Traceback (most recent call last): File "connection.py", line 15, in
conn = requests.get(pymssql.connect(host=server,user=username,password=password,database=database))
File "src\pymssql.pyx", line 642, in pymssql.connect
pymssql.OperationalError: (20009, 'DB-Lib error message 20009,

I think an option is to mount a local tunnelling sock with port forwarding, to map your database port and act as if your server where a localhost one.
It's really efficient if you're running your python script on a Unix computer.
Something like this system call (for a 3306 mariaDB) :
ssh -L 3306:localhost:3306 user#x.x.x.x
First, your run SSH, then, you tell him to enable a port forwarding from the 3306 port to the localhost:3306 port of the server you connect through user#IP.
With this, every query from your local machine:3306 will by send to your MariaDB:3306 server, allowing you to use it as if you where on the server.
If you do not want to hack into pymssql source code, there're external tools that redirect all TCP traffic over the socks proxy, such as FreeCap for Windows, RedSocks for Linux and Proximac for macOS.

I have problem to connect to my postgreSQL database.
I have databasename, password, hostname, port and I use this:
conn_string = "host='localhost' dbname='my_database' user='postgres' password='secret'"
But I got error like this:
Is the server running on host "...." and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432
I don't know if I used correctly host, I insert the value of hostname.
What is the difference between hostname and host? Anyone could help me?
psycopg2.connect(dbname=dbname, user=user, password=password, host=postgres_address, port=postgres_port)
This is working example to connect, you must define early dbname, user, password, postgres_address. If you have connection error, you can use ping for testing connection and telnet for testing openning port. Or you can use Beaver for test connection to postgres server.
Most likely your database has a firewall, be sure to whitelist the IP you are trying to connect from.
Difference of host and hostname
The difference of host and hostname really depends on the context. In your context of psycopg2 and PostgreSQL connection, the host normally means the IP address of the PostgreSQL server or the resolvable name of the PostgreSQL server such as DNS name if it has. If you are running linux server, the output of command hostname is unlikely to work in your case.
psycopg2 connection
Your connection string looks OK. But I will suggest you to use below connection format:
import psycopg2
try:
connection = psycopg2.connect(user = "sysadmin",
password = "pynative##29",
host = "127.0.0.1",
port = "5432",
database = "postgres_db")
except (Exception, psycopg2.Error) as error :
print ("Error while connecting to PostgreSQL", error)
You should use the IP address as the host value.
Troubleshooting
In the case of connection error, you should use other tools to test the connection of PostgreSQL server such as psql, pgAdmin4 or DBeaver.
You can also use telnet or netcat tools to test the network connection of PostgreSQL server, such as
telnet PostgreSQL_ip_address 5432
nc -v PostgreSQL_ip_address 5432
I used mysql.connector python library to make changes to my local SQL server databases using:
from __future__ import print_function
import mysql.connector as kk
cnx = kk.connect(user='root', password='password123',
host='localhost',
database='db')
cursor = cnx.cursor(buffered=True)
sql = "DELETE FROM examples WHERE id = 4"
number_of_rows = cursor.execute(sql)
cnx.commit()
cnx.close()
This works fine, but when i try the same code with a change only to the 'host' parameter, with something like,
host='xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
(where the IP is that of a server connected to my local network.), it won't update that particular data base in that server.
The error thrown is something like:
mysql.connector.errors.DatabaseError: 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'xx.xxx.x.xx' (10060)
Why wouldn't this work?
First, you must check if your local IP can acces to your remote server (check if you are an IP restriction on your server), after check if your mysql database use the default port or not, If not you must precise the port in your code.
Check if the database user you are using to connect to the database on the remote host has the correct access and privileges.
You can test this from the command line using:
mysql -u root -p password123 - h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx db
If this does not work then debug as follow:
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. If host is reachable move on to next step, if not then this IP is blocked, not available or incorrect. Double check the IP and check that they are on the same network.
Check if mysqld is running on host. service mysqld restart. If it is move on to next step, if not start mysqld. If it does not want to start, install it, start the service and setup your database.
Telnet the specific port to see if the port is blocked. telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 3306. If this works, move on to the next step. If this does not work, check your IPTables and check if the port is open on the remote host.
Add a user to the mysql on the the host: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/adding-users.html
Restart mysqld and try the command above again.
I am trying to connect to my website's MySQL database from my own computer. The script I use:
hostaddress = 'sitedezign.net'
username = '*********'
password = '*********'
database = '*********'
db_port = 3306
#connect
db = _mysql.connect(host=hostaddress,user=username,passwd=password,db=database, port=db_port)
However I get the following error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Yorian\Desktop\TU\Stage Shore\python_files\Rectify, metadata and upload\sql_test.py", line 25, in <module>
port=db_port)
OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'sitedezign.net' (10061)")
I have switched my computer's firewall off and also added an outbound rule to my firewall for when I connect to an outbound port 3306 (to allow this)
The user does have the rights, I've tested this by running a php script with the same login data on the server and it connects perfectly fine (host=localhost)
I set the server to allow external connections coming from my IP address (IPv4 as well as IPV6)
The server is from a webhoster so I can not access the server myself.
Anybody that has an idea where things are going wrong?
I have set up a basic transactional database using MySQL. Using python/MySQLdb, this works fine:
connection = MySQLdb.connect (host = "127.0.0.1", port = 3306, user = "root", passwd = "password", db = "test")
but this doesn't:
connection = MySQLdb.connect (host = "localhost", port = 3306, user = "root", passwd = "password", db = "test")
Using the latter generates the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "path\to\virtualenv\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\__init__.py", line 81, in Connect

super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs2)
_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)")
I have to admit I'm a bit confused as to why MySQLdb fails to resolve localhost. The C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file hasn't been modified in way. Using a regular Windows command prompt, ping localhost and telnet localhost 3306 both work fine.
Environment:
Windows 7 (64 bits)
Python 2.7.2 (32 bits)
MySQLdb 1.2.3
MySQL 5.5.28 (64 bits)
From MySQLdb docs, about using localhost:
This creates a connection to the MySQL server running on the local
machine via a UNIX socket. 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.
Your server probably listen on TCP socket.
This may be an IPv6 issue. If so, it can be solved via

I'm having trouble with the MySQLdb module.
db = MySQLdb.connect(
host = 'localhost',
user = 'root',
passwd = '',
db = 'testdb',
port = 3000)
(I'm using a custom port)
the error I get is:
Error 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
Which doesn't make much sense since that's the default connection set in my.conf.. it's as though it's ignoring the connection info I give..
The mysql server is definitely there:
[root#baster ~]# mysql -uroot -p -P3000
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 19
Server version: 5.0.77 Source distribution
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql> use testdb;
Database changed
mysql>
I tried directly from the python prompt:
>>> db = MySQLdb.connect(user='root', passwd='', port=3000, host='localhost', db='pyneoform')
Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm confused... :(
Changing localhost to 127.0.0.1 solved my problem using MySQLdb:
db = MySQLdb.connect(
host = '127.0.0.1',
user = 'root',
passwd = '',
db = 'testdb',
port = 3000)
Using 127.0.0.1 forces the client to use TCP/IP, so that the server listening to the TCP port can pickle it up. If host is specified as localhost, a Unix socket or pipe will be used.
add unix_socket='path_to_socket' where path_to_socket should be the path of the MySQL socket, e.g. /var/run/mysqld/mysqld2.sock
Make sure that the mysql server is listening for tcp connections, which you can do with netstat -nlp (in *nix). This is the type of connection you are attempting to make, and db's normally don't listen on the network by default for security reasons. Also, try specifying --host=localhost when using the mysql command, this also try to connect via unix sockets unless you specify otherwise. If mysql is not configured to listen for tcp connections, the command will also fail.
Here's a relevant section from the mysql 5.1 manual on unix sockets and troubleshooting connections. Note that the error described (2002) is the same one that you are getting.
Alternatively, check to see if the module you are using has an option to connect via unix sockets (as David Suggests).
I had this issue where the unix socket file was some place else, python was trying to connect to a non-existing socket. Once this was corrected using the unix_socket option, it worked.
Mysql uses sockets when the host is 'localhost' and tcp/ip when the host is anything else. By default Mysql will listen to both - you can disable either sockets or networking in you my.cnf file (see mysql.com for details).
In your case forget about the port=3000 the mysql client lib is not paying any attention to it since you are using localhost and specify the socket as in unix_socket='path_to_socket'.
If you decided to move this script to another machine you will need to change this connect string to use the actual host name or ip address and then you can loose the unix_socket and bring back the port. The default port for mysql is 3306 - you don't need to specify that port but you will need to specify 3000 if that is the port you are using.
As far as I can tell, the python connector can ONLY connect to mysql through a internet socket: unix sockets (the default for the command line client) is not supported.
In the CLI client, when you say "-h localhost", it actually interprets localhost as "Oh, localhost? I'll just connect to the unix socket instead", rather than the internet localhost socket.
Ie, the mysql CLI client is doing something magical, and the Python connector is doing something "consistent, but restrictive".
Choose your poison. (Pun not intended ;) )
Maybe try adding the keyword parameter unix_socket = None to connect()?
