How to restore MySQL database using Python

I have a sql file generated during database backup process and I want to load all database content from that sql file to a different MySQL database (secondary database).
I have created a python function to load the whole database in that sql file but when I execute the function, I get an error
'str' object is not callable
Below is python script
def load_database_dump_to_secondary_mysql(file_path='db_backup_file.sql'):
query = f'source {file_path}'
try:
connection = mysql_hook.get_conn() # connection to secondary db
cursor = connection.cursor(query)
print('LOAD TO MYSQL COMPLETE')
except Exception as xerror:
print("LOAD ERROR: ", xerror)
NB: mysql_hook is an airflow connector that contains MySQL DB connection info such as Host, user/passwd, Database name. Also, I don't have connection to the primary database, I'm only receiving sql dump file.
What I'm I missing?

source is a client builtin command: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-commands.html
It's not an SQL query that MySQL's SQL parser understands.
So you can't execute source using cursor.execute(), because that goes directly to the dynamic SQL interface.
You must run it using the MySQL command-line client as a subprocess:
subprocess.run(['mysql', '-e', f'source {file_path}'])
You might need other options to the mysql client, such as user, password, host, etc.

try this
import mysql.connector as m
# database which you want to backup
db = 'geeksforgeeks'
connection = m.connect(host='localhost', user='root',
password='123', database=db)
cursor = connection.cursor()
# Getting all the table names
cursor.execute('SHOW TABLES;')
table_names = []
for record in cursor.fetchall():
table_names.append(record[0])
backup_dbname = db + '_backup'
try:
cursor.execute(f'CREATE DATABASE {backup_dbname}')
except:
pass
cursor.execute(f'USE {backup_dbname}')
for table_name in table_names:
cursor.execute(
f'CREATE TABLE {table_name} SELECT * FROM {db}.{table_name}')

Cannot connect to GearHost database

I am trying to connect to my GearHost Database in python, I followed the instructions here on GearHost. My python code looks like:
from mysql.connector import connection
server = 'den1.mssql6.gear.host'
db = 'testmenow'
user = 'testmenow'
psword = 'TEST!!'
cnxn = connection.MySQLConnection(host=server, user=usr, password=psword, database=db)
cursor = cnxn.cursor()
cnxn.close()
I get the following error:
mysql.connector.errors.InterfaceError: 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'den1.mssql6.gear.host:3306' (10061 No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it)
I have also tried to connect to GearHost through mysql workbench, as instructed in GearHost's instruction page, which also cannot connect to the database:
Connecting to MySQL server ...
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'den1.mssql6.gear.host' (10060)
This is what my GearHost shows:
Tried (unsuccessfully)
Messing with and without a port number, as mentioned here: Issue connecting to gearhost database
Trying connecting through MySQL workbench
Considering the conversation here: Cannot Connect to Database Server mysql workbench , but does not seem applicable to my circumstances.
Different SQL packages in python, including mysql-python and mysql-connector-python
Question
Am I missing something obvious that is preventing me from connecting to GearHost, either with python or mysql workbench?
UPDATE
as #SMor pointed out, I had mistaken MSSQL for MySQL - I was able to successfully connect to my database using:
import pyodbc
server = 'den1.mssql6.gear.host'
db = 'testmenow'
usr = 'testmenow'
psword = 'TEST!!'
cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server};SERVER='+server+';'
'DATABASE='+db+';UID='+usr+';PWD=' + psword)
cursor = cnxn.cursor()

Unable to connect to server with python and pymssql

I'm developing a script that it's supossed to read data from a Microsoft SQL database and display it in a nice format. Also, It's supossed to write into the database as well. The issue is that I'm not able to connect to the server.
I'm using this code:
import pymssql
server = "serverIpAddress"
user = "username"
password = "pass"
db = "databaseName"
port = 1433
db = pymssql.connect(server,user,password,port= port)
# prepare a cursor object using cursor() method
cursor = db.cursor()
# execute SQL query using execute() method.
cursor.execute("SELECT VERSION()")
# Fetch a single row using fetchone() method.
data = cursor.fetchone()
print "Database version : %s " % data
# disconnect from server
db.close()
And I'm getting this traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\dbtest.py", line 9, in <module>
db = pymssql.connect(server,user,password,port= port)
File "pymssql.pyx", line 641, in pymssql.connect (pymssql.c:10824)
pymssql.OperationalError: (18452, 'Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication.DB-Lib error message 20018, severity 14:\nGeneral SQL Server e
rror: Check messages from the SQL Server\nDB-Lib error message 20002, severity 9:\nAdaptive Server connection failed (serverip:1433)\n')
I've changed some data to keep privacy.
This give me some clues about what it's going on:
The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication
But I don't know how to fix it. I've seen that some people uses
integratedSecurity=true
But I don't know if there is something like this on pymssql or even if that it's a good idea.
Also, I don't need to use pymssql at all. If you know any other library that can perform what I need, I don't mind changing it.
Thanks and greetings.
--EDIT--
I've also tested this code:
import pyodbc
server = "serverIpAddress"
user = "username"
password = "pass"
db = "databaseName"
connectString = "Driver={SQL Server};server="+serverIP+";database="+db+";uid="+user+";pwd="+password
con = pyodbc.connect(connectString)
cur = con.cursor()
cur.close()
con.close()
and I'm getting this traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".\pyodbc_test.py", line 9, in <module>
    con = pyodbc.connect(connectString)
pyodbc.Error: ('28000', "[28000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user '.\\sa'. (18456) (SQLDriverConnect); [28000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Lo

Create a schema in SQL Server using pyodbc

I am using pyodbc to read from a SQL Server database and create analogous copies of the same structure in a different database somewhere else.
Essentially:
for db in source_dbs:
Execute('create database [%s]' % db) # THIS WORKS.
for schema in db:
# The following result in an error starting with:
# [42000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]
Execute('create schema [%s].[%s]' % (db, schema)
# Incorrect syntax near '.'
Execute('use [%s]; create schema [%s]' %(db, schema)
# CREATE SCHEMA' must be the first statement in a query batch.
In this example, you can assume that Execute creates a cursor using pyodbc and executes the argument SQL string.
I'm able to create the empty databases, but I can't figure out how to create the schemas within them.
Is there a solution, or is this a limitation of using pyodbc with MS SQL Server?
EDIT: FWIW - I also tried to pass the database name to Execute, so I could try to set the database name in the connection string. This doesn't work either - it seems to ignore the database name completely.

Python database connections usually default to having transactions enabled (autocommit == False) and SQL Server tends to dislike certain DDL commands being executed in a transaction.
I just tried the following and it worked for me:
import pyodbc
connStr = (
r"Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};"
r"Server=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;"
r"Trusted_connection=yes;"
)
cnxn = pyodbc.connect(connStr, autocommit=True)
crsr = cnxn.cursor()
crsr.execute("CREATE DATABASE pyodbctest")
crsr.execute("USE pyodbctest")
crsr.execute("CREATE SCHEMA myschema")
crsr.close()
cnxn.close()

Cannot establish connection to sql-server using pyodbc on Windows 7

I'm using ActivePython 2.7.2.5 on Windows 7.
While trying to connect to a sql-server database with the pyodbc module using the below code, I receive the subsequent Traceback. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
CODE:
import pyodbc
driver = 'SQL Server'
server = '**server-name**'
db1 = 'CorpApps'
tcon = 'yes'
uname = 'jnichol3'
pword = '**my-password**'
cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=server;DATABASE=db1;UID=uname;PWD=pword;Trusted_Connection=yes')
cursor = cnxn.cursor()
cursor.execute("select * from appaudit_q32013")
rows = cursor.fetchall()
for row in rows:
print row
TRACEBACK:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pyodbc_test.py", line 9, in <module>
cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=server;DATABASE=db1;UID=uname;PWD=pword;Trusted_Connection=yes')
pyodbc.Error: ('08001', '[08001] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. (17) (SQLDriverConnect); [01000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect()). (53)')

You're using a connection string of 'DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=server;DATABASE=db1;UID=uname;PWD=pword;Trusted_Connection=yes', you're trying to connect to a server called server, a database called db1, etc. It doesn't use the variables you set before, they're not used.
It's possible to pass the connection string parameters as keyword arguments to the connect function, so you could use:
cnxn = pyodbc.connect(driver='{SQL Server}', host=server, database=db1,
trusted_connection=tcon, user=uname, password=pword)

I had the same error message and in my case the issue was the [SQL Server] drivers required TLS 1.0 which is disabled on my server. Changing to the newer version of the SNAC, SQL Server Native Client 11.0 fixed the problem.
So my connection string looks like:
cnxn = pyodbc.connect(driver='{SQL Server Native Client 11.0}',
host=server, database=db1, trusted_connection=tcon,
user=uname, password=pword)

I had faced this error due to another reason.
It was because my server had a "port" apart from the address.
I could fix that by assigning the following value to "Server" parameter of the connection string.
"...;Server=<server_name>,<port#>;..."
Note that it is a 'comma' and not 'colon'/'period'

cnxn = pyodbc.connect(driver='{SQL Server}', host=server, database=db1,
user=uname, password=pword)
print(cnxn)
I removed "Trusted_Connection" part and it worked for me.

Different security risks exist with either method. If you use Sql Server authentication you expose your userid/password in the code. But at least you process with the same credentials. If you use Windows authentication you have to insure all the possible users are setup with the right permission in the Sql server. With Sql authentication you can setup just one user but multiple people can use that one Sql User permissions wise.

I had the same issue today. I was using localhost in the connectionstring. Got rid of the issue by replacing localhost woth 'server name',. My db and application are running in the same machine.
If you don't have server name
go to Sql server management studio and execute below query, which will give you the server name.
SELECT ##SERVERNAME
The connection string look as below
conn = pyodbc.connect('Driver={SQL Server};'
'Server=myServerName;'
'Database=mydb;'
'Trusted_Connection=yes;')
