I've seen some similar questions about this on StackOverflow but haven't found an answer that works; see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4408714/execute-sql-file-with-python-mysqldb AND http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10593876/execute-sql-file-in-python-with-mysqldb?lq=1
Here is my code:
import pymysql
import sys
import access # holds credentials
import mysql_connector # connects to MySQL, is fully functional
class CreateDB(object):
def __init__(self):
self.cursor = None
self.conn = pymysql.connect(host, user, passwd)
def create_database(self):
try:
with self.conn.cursor() as cursor:
for line in open('file.sql'):
cursor.execute(line)
self.conn.commit()
except Warning as warn:
f = open(access.Credentials().error_log, 'a')
f.write('Warning: %s ' % warn + '\nStop.\n')
sys.exit()
create = CreateDB()
create.create_database()
When I run my script I get the following error:
pymysql.err.InternalError: (1065, 'Query was empty')
My .sql file is successfully loaded when I import directly through MySQL and there is a single query on each line of the file. Does anybody have a solution for this? I have followed the suggestions on other posts but have not had any success.
Take care of empty lines in the end of the file by:
if line.strip(): cursor.execute(line)
