cursor.execute returns 1 int

When running a query to a mysql database using MySqlHook, cursor.execute(query) returns int 1
My code is
import logging
from airflow.hooks.mysql_hook import MySqlHook
query = "SELECT col1, col2 FROM myschema.mytable LIMIT 1"
mysql = MySqlHook(mysql_conn_id=conn_id)
conn = mysql.get_conn()
cursor = conn.cursor()
result_cursor = cursor.execute(query)
logging.info(result_cursor) # this prints out "INFO - 1" in the log
df = pd.DataFrame(result_cursor.fetchall(), columns=result_cursor.keys()) # this triggers error "ERROR - 'int' object has no attribute 'fetchall'"
I would have expected result_cursor to return a "fetchable" result, since the query is working fine.

Cursor.execute() return value is not defined by the db-api spec, but for most implementations it returns the number of rows affected by the query.
To retrieve data, you have to either iterate over the cursor or call .fetchall().

It seems I cannot save cursor.execute(query) into variable result_cursor.
To make the code work, I simply needed to define the data for the data-frame as cursor.fetchall()
cursor.execute(query)
df = pd.DataFrame(list(cursor.fetchall()), column=[col[0] for col in cursor.description])

Get list without JSON-like style mysql python

I am building a POS (point of sale) in python with MySQL!
I want to list all articles, but I get the JSON-like output.
My code:
import mysql.connector
print('eXperience POS\nArtikli:')
posdb = mysql.connector.connect\
(
user='root',
password='',
host='127.0.0.1',
database='experiencepos'
)
try:
cursor = posdb.cursor()
cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM artikli')
sviartikli = cursor.fetchall()
print(sviartikli)
finally:
posdb.close()

I think you're confusing JSON output with it printing a dict. Each item in the cursor returns a dict containing the item's fields. Since you did not show the example output I'll just use a name and description field for example. This is what I think you're looking for though. Also you may want to just loop through the cursor as printing the entire cursor would just print a list of dicts with all the items.
import mysql.connector
print('eXperience POS\nArtikli:')
posdb = mysql.connector.connect\
(
user='root',
password='',
host='127.0.0.1',
database='experiencepos'
)
try:
cursor = posdb.cursor()
cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM artikli')
for sviartikli in cursor:
name = sviartikli['name'] #example field
description = sviartikli['description'] #another example field
print("Name: {} Description: {}")
finally:
posdb.close()

How to fetch data from sqlite using python?

I am using this sample sqlite database and my code is
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('chinook.db')
conn.execute("SELECT * FROM tracks")
rows = conn.cursor().fetchall()
It should have worked, but rows is empty?
What am I doing wrong here?

The Connection.execute shortcut returns a cursor instance, which you need to use with fetchall. In your code, you're creating a new, independent cursor.
Thus:
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('chinook.db')
cursor = conn.execute("SELECT * FROM tracks")
rows = cursor.fetchall()
or even shorter (not recommended, but for those who like obscured one-liners):
rows = sqlite3.connect('chinook.db').execute("SELECT * FROM tracks").fetchall()
Or don't use Connection.execute shortcut, to avoid confusion:
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('chinook.db')
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM tracks")
rows = cursor.fetchall()

Retrieve data from sql server database using Python

I am trying to execute the following script. but I don't get neither the desired results nor a error message ,and I can't figure out where I'm doing wrong.
import pyodbc
cnxn = pyodbc.connect("Driver={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};"
"Server=mySRVERNAME;"
"Database=MYDB;"
"uid=sa;pwd=MYPWD;"
"Trusted_Connection=yes;")
cursor = cnxn.cursor()
cursor.execute('select DISTINCT firstname,lastname,coalesce(middlename,\' \') as middlename from Person.Person')
for row in cursor:
print('row = %r' % (row,))
any ideas ? any help is appreciated :)

You have to use a fetch method along with cursor. For Example
for row in cursor.fetchall():
print('row = %r' % (row,))
EDIT :
The fetchall function returns all remaining rows in a list.
If there are no rows, an empty list is returned.
If there are a lot of rows, *this will use a lot of memory.*
Unread rows are stored by the database driver in a compact format and are often sent in batches from the database server.
Reading in only the rows you need at one time will save a lot of memory.
If we are going to process the rows one at a time, we can use the cursor itself as an interator
Moreover we can simplify it since cursor.execute() always returns a cursor :
for row in cursor.execute("select bla, anotherbla from blabla"):
print row.bla, row.anotherbla
Documentation

I found this information useful to retrieve data from SQL database to python as a data frame.
import pandas as pd
import pymssql
con = pymssql.connect(server='use-et-aiml-cloudforte-aiops- db.database.windows.net',user='login_username',password='login_password',database='database_name')
cursor = con.cursor()
query = "SELECT * FROM <TABLE_NAME>"
cursor.execute(query)
df = pd.read_sql(query, con)
con.close()
df

import mysql.connector as mc
connection creation
conn = mc.connect(host='localhost', user='root', passwd='password')
print(conn)
#create cursor object
cur = conn.cursor()
print(cur)
cur.execute('show databases')
for i in cur:
print(i)
query = "Select * from employee_performance.employ_mod_recent"
emp_data = pd.read_sql(query, conn)
emp_data

MySQLdb fetcall,AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'fetchall'

I want to check if I have managed to import my csv file into MySQL db in proper manner.My code
import MySQLdb
mydb = MySQLdb.connect(host = 'localhost',user = 'milenko',passwd = 'nuklear',db = 'mm')
cur = mydb.cursor()
command = cur.execute('SELECT * FROM jul')
results = command.fetchall()
print (results)
But I got this
File "b12.py", line 6, in <module>
results = command.fetchall()
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'fetchall'
I have seen previous SO posts,where people claim that number objects do not have fetcall object.I have copied this code from Python for MySQL from Albert Lukaszewski.
How to pull down db content in one go?

You can't call fetchall() on the result of a cursor.execute(), in fact, according to MySQLdb documentation, cursor.execute() return the number of affected rows by the query executed.
To retrieve data you have to access to cursor results directly:
cur = mydb.cursor()
cur.execute('SELECT * FROM jul')
results = cur.fetchall()
