Python Connector for MySQL is a reliable connectivity solution for accessing MySQL and MariaDB database servers and managed database services from Python applications to perform create, read, update, and delete operations on stored data. The solution fully implements the Python DB API 2.0 specification and is distributed as a wheel package for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Direct Connection
The solution enables you to establish a direct connection to a MySQL or MariaDB database server through TCP/IP, eliminating the need for the database client library. A direct connection increases the speed of data transmission between a Python application and the database server.
