Introduction


Before we can connect to a MySQL server, we have to have access to a MySQL server. The first recipe in this chapter will show you how to install the free MySQL Server Community Edition.

After successfully connecting to a running instance of our MySQL server, we will design and create a database that will accept a book title, which could be our own journal or a quote we found somewhere on the Internet. We will require a page number for the book, which could be blank, and then we will insert the quote we like from a book, journal, website or friend into our MySQL database using our GUI built in Python 3.

We will insert, modify, delete and display our favorite quotes using our Python GUI to issue these SQL commands and to display the data.

Note

CRUD is a database term you might come across that abbreviates the four basic SQL commands and stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete.
