Question: Not sure what I'm missing here but this code runs without any error message, but there's nothing in the table. I'm loading a CSV values in three columns into mysql table

```
import csv
import MySQLdb

mydb = MySQLdb.connect(host='localhost',
    user='root',
    passwd='',
    db='mydb')
cursor = mydb.cursor()

csv_data = csv.reader(file('students.csv'))
for row in csv_data:

    cursor.execute('INSERT INTO testcsv(names, \
          classes, mark )' \
          'VALUES("%s", "%s", "%s")', 
          row)
#close the connection to the database.
cursor.close()
print "Done"

```

Would appreciate if someone else could have a look.

Answer: 
The above answer seems good. But another way of doing this is adding the auto commit option along with the db connect. This automatically commits every other operations performed in the db, avoiding the use of mentioning `sql.commit()` every time. 

```
 mydb = MySQLdb.connect(host='localhost',
        user='root',
        passwd='',
        db='mydb',autocommit=true)

```
```
  from __future__ import print_function
import csv
import MySQLdb

print("Enter  File  To Be Export")
conn = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", port=3306, user="root", passwd="", db="database")
cursor = conn.cursor()
#sql = 'CREATE DATABASE test1'
sql ='''DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `test1`; CREATE TABLE test1 (policyID int, statecode varchar(255), county varchar(255))'''
cursor.execute(sql)

with open('C:/Users/Desktop/Code/python/sample.csv') as csvfile:
    reader = csv.DictReader(csvfile, delimiter = ',')
    for row in reader:
        print(row['policyID'], row['statecode'], row['county'])
        # insert
        conn = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", port=3306, user="root", passwd="", db="database")
        sql_statement = "INSERT INTO test1(policyID ,statecode,county) VALUES (%s,%s,%s)"
        cur = conn.cursor()
        cur.executemany(sql_statement,[(row['policyID'], row['statecode'], row['county'])])
        conn.escape_string(sql_statement)
        conn.commit()

```
