Peewee - Using MySQL
As mentioned earlier, Peewee supports MySQL database through MySQLDatabase class. However, unlike SQLite database, Peewee can’t create a MySql database. You need to create it manually or using functionality of DB-API compliant module such as pymysql.
First, you should have MySQL server installed in your machine. It can be a standalone MySQL server installed from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/.
You can also work on Apache bundled with MySQL (such as XAMPP downloaded and installed from https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html ).
Next, we install pymysql module, DB-API compatible Python driver.
pip install pymysql
The create a new database named mydatabase. We shall use phpmyadmin interface available in XAMPP.
If you choose to create database programmatically, use following Python script −
import pymysql
conn = pymysql.connect(host='localhost', user='root', password='')
conn.cursor().execute('CREATE DATABASE mydatabase')
conn.close()
Once a database is created on the server, we can now declare a model and thereby, create a mapped table in it.
The MySQLDatabase object requires server credentials such as host, port, user name and password.
from peewee import *
db = MySQLDatabase('mydatabase', host='localhost', port=3306, user='root', password='')
class MyUser (Model):
name=TextField()
city=TextField(constraints=[SQL("DEFAULT 'Mumbai'")])
age=IntegerField()
class Meta:
database=db
db_table='MyUser'
db.connect()
db.create_tables([MyUser])
The Phpmyadmin web interface now shows myuser table created.
