Python is a flexible, portable, easy to learn and modifiable language. So, we are integrating MySQL with Python interface for executing any database applications. The various reasons to use Python for programming database applications are:
- Programming in Python is arguably more efficient and faster as compared to other languages.
- Python is known for its portability.
- It is platform-independent.
- Python supports SQL cursors that allows executing SQL queries and processing the results.
- In many programming languages, the application developer needs to take care of the open and closed connections of the database to avoid further exceptions and errors. In Python, these connections are taken care of.
- Python supports relational database management systems.
- Python database APIs are compatible with various databases, so it is very easy to migrate and port database application interfaces.
