Selecting record from mySQL via cursors returns an None object

I am writing a script in python 3.x using mysqlconnector.
What I am trying to achieve right now is to check if there is a record inside my db which may be a duplicate to the one I am analyzing right now.
I came up with such code:
def fill_data(self, db_name, data):
cursor = self.cnx.cursor(buffered=True)
isDuplicate = cursor.execute(("SELECT destination FROM {0} WHERE destination = '{1}';")
.format(db_name, data['destination']))
print(cursor.statement)
self.commit()
print(isDuplicate is None)
Though I still get isDuplicate as None object. I tried to check via cursor.statement what statement is being passed to my db: it turned out that while in script I get None obj while passed in db that query works fine.
I also tried SELECT COUNT(1) FROM db_name which also gave me different results.
I am out of ideas: maybe you guys can help me out?
Update:
The solution that works for me was:
q = ("SELECT * FROM {0} WHERE destination = %s AND countryCode = %s AND prefix = %s")
.format(db_name)
cursor.execute(q, (data['destination'], data['country_code'], data['prefix']))
self.cnx.commit()
isDoubled = cursor.fetchone()
So at the end of the day it was all about fetching data from the cursor :)

Maybe the reason of your issue is the way you use execute() method.
Try to make some changes and see what is printed out:
def fill_data(self, db_name, data):
cursor = self.cnx.cursor(buffered=True)
q = 'SELECT count(*) FROM {} WHERE destination = %s'.format(db_name)
duplicate_count = cursor.execute(q, (data['destination'], )).fetchall()
print(duplicate_count)
Why should I provide query parameters this way? (article is on psql, but the core principles are the same as in mysql)
update
If you are still receiving "NoneType" object has no atribute "fetchall", then the error is probably here:
cursor = self.cnx.cursor(buffered=True)
Looks like you are not creating cursor at all. I can take a look at it if you post some code about cnx creation.

Python MySQL cursor fails to fetch rows

I am trying to fetch data from AWS MariaDB:
cursor = self._cnx.cursor()
stmt = ('SELECT * FROM flights')
cursor.execute(stmt)
print(cursor.rowcount)
# prints 2
for z in cursor:
print(z)
# Does not iterate
row = cursor.fetchone()
# row is None
rows = cursor.fetchall()
# throws 'No result set to fetch from.'
I can verify that table contains data using MySQL Workbench. Am I missing some step?
EDIT: re 2 answers:
res = cursor.execute(stmt)
# res is None
EDIT:
I created new Python project with a single file:
import mysql.connector
try:
cnx = mysql.connector.connect(
host='foobar.rds.amazonaws.com',
user='devuser',
password='devpasswd',
database='devdb'
)
cursor = cnx.cursor()
#cursor = cnx.cursor(buffered=True)
cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM flights')
print(cursor.rowcount)
rows = cursor.fetchall()
except Exception as exc:
print(exc)
If I run this code with simple cursor, fetchall raises "No result set to fetch from". If I run with buffered cursor, I can see that _rows property of cursor contains my data, but fetchall() returns empty array.

Your issue is that cursor.execute(stmt) returns an object with results and you're not storing that.
results = cursor.execute(stmt)
print(results.fetchone()) # Prints out and pops first row

For the future googlers with the same Problem I found a workaround which may help in some cases:
I didn't find the source of the problem but a solution which worked for me.
In my case .fetchone() also returned none whatever I did on my local(on my own Computer) Database. I tried the exact same code with the Database on our companies server and somehow it worked. So I copied the complete server Database onto my local Database (by using database dumps) just to get the server settings and afterwards I also could get data from my local SQL-Server with the code which didn't work before.
I am a SQL-newbie but maybe some crazy setting on my local SQL-Server prevented me from fetching data. Maybe some more experienced SQL-user knows this setting and can explain.

select from insert into not working with sqlalchemy

I want to insert a record in mytable (in DB2 database) and get the id generated in that insert. I'm trying to do that with python 2.7. Here is what I did:
import sqlalchemy
from sqlalchemy import *
import ibm_db_sa
db2 = sqlalchemy.create_engine('ibm_db_sa://user:pswd#localhost:50001/mydatabase')
sql = "select REPORT_ID from FINAL TABLE(insert into MY_TABLE values(DEFAULT,CURRENT TIMESTAMP,EMPTY_BLOB(),10,'success'));"
result = db2.execute(sql)
for item in result:
id = item[0]
print id
When I execute the code above it gives me this output:
10 //or a increasing number
Now when I check in the database nothing has been inserted ! I tried to run the same SQL request on the command line and it worked just fine. Any clue why I can't insert it with python using sqlalchemy ?

Did you try a commit? #Lennart is right. It might solve your problem.
Your code does not commit the changes you have made and thus are rolled back.
If your Database is InnoDB, it is transactional and thus needs a commit.
according to this, you also have to connect to your engine. so in your instance it would look like:
db2 = sqlalchemy.create_engine('ibm_db_sa://user:pswd#localhost:50001/mydatabase')
conn = db2.connect()
trans = conn.begin()
try:
sql = "select REPORT_ID from FINAL TABLE(insert into MY_TABLE values(DEFAULT,CURRENT TIMESTAMP,EMPTY_BLOB(),10,'success'));"
result = conn.execute(sql)
for item in result:
id = item[0]
print id
trans.commit()
except:
trans.rollback()
raise
I do hope this helps.

How to get inserted_primary_key from db.engine.connect().execute call

I'm using:
CPython 2.7.3,
Flask==0.10.1
Flask-SQLAlchemy==0.16
psycopg2==2.5.1
and
postgresql-9.2
Trying to get PK from insert call with alchemy.
Getting engine like so:
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.from_envvar('SOME_VAR')
app.wsgi_app = ProxyFix(app.wsgi_app) # Fix for old proxyes
db = SQLAlchemy(app)
And executing insert query in app:
from sqlalchemy import text, exc
def query():
return db.engine.connect().execute(text('''
insert into test...'''), kw)
rv = query()
But trying access inserted_primary_key property, get:
InvalidRequestError: Statement is not an insert() expression construct.
How to enable implicit_returning in my case, reading the docs doesn't help?

You can use the RETURNING clause and handle this yourself:
INSERT INTO test (...) VALUES (...) RETURNING id
Then you can retrieve the id as you normally retrieve values from queries.
Note that this works on Postgres, but does not work on other db engines like MySQL or sqlite.
I don't think there is a db agnostic way to do this within SQLAlchemy without using the ORM functionality.

Is there any reason you do text query instead of normal sqlalchemy insert()? If you're using sqlalchemy it will probably be much easier for you to rephrase your query into:
from sqlalchemy import text, exc, insert
# in values you can put dictionary of keyvalue pairs
# key is the name of the column, value the value to insert
con = db.engine.connect()
ins = tablename.insert().values(users="frank")
res = con.execute(ins)
res.inserted_primary_key
[1]
This way sqlalchemy will do the binding for you.

You can use lastrowid
rv = query()
rv.lastrowid

Get the last inserted id in django

I am migrating some data from other databases , so i am using raw sql queries for inserting data into database . But i don't know how to get last inserted id from raw sql queries in django. I have tried this
affected_count1=cursor2.execute("table')")
and
SELECT IDENT_CURRENT(‘MyTable’)
but it gives me the error of "(1305, 'FUNCTION pydev.SCOPE_IDENTITY does not exist')"
So please tell me how can i get the last inserted id in raw sq l queries in django

You can get latest create obj like this:
obj = Foo.objects.latest('id')
more info here

Try this
LastInsertId = (TableName.objects.last()).id

In Django 1.6
obj = Foo.objects.latest('id')
obj = Foo.objects.earliest('id')
