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: 
If you do not have the **pandas** and **sqlalchemy** libraries, install them using pip

```
pip install pandas
pip install sqlalchemy

```

We can use **pandas** and **sqlalchemy** to directly insert into the database

```
import csv
import pandas as pd
from sqlalchemy import create_engine, types

engine = create_engine('mysql://root:*Enter password here*@localhost/*Enter Databse name here*') # enter your password and database names here

df = pd.read_csv("Excel_file_name.csv",sep=',',quotechar='\'',encoding='utf8') # Replace Excel_file_name with your excel sheet name
df.to_sql('Table_name',con=engine,index=False,if_exists='append') # Replace Table_name with your sql table name

```
```
  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()

```
