In Python, you can interact with SQL databases using various libraries.
One of the most commonly
used libraries for this purpose is `sqlite3`, which is a built-in library in Python and provides a simple
way to work with SQLite databases. Addi onally, there are third-party libraries like `SQLAlchemy` and
`pymysql` for interac ng with different types of SQL databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle,
etc.
Here's a brief explana on of how you can use `sqlite3` to interact with an SQLite database in Python:
1. **Connec ng to a Database:**
To connect to an SQLite database, you use the `connect()` func on from the `sqlite3` module,
specifying the path to the database file. If the file does not exist, it will be created.
```python
import sqlite3
# Connect to the database (creates a new database if not exists)
connec on = [Link]('[Link]')
```
2. **Crea ng a Cursor:**
Once connected, you need to create a cursor object using the `cursor()` method of the connec on
object. The cursor is used to execute SQL commands and manage the results.
```python
# Create a cursor object
cursor = connec [Link]()
```
3. **Execu ng SQL Commands:**
You can execute SQL commands using the `execute()` method of the cursor object. You can execute
commands like crea ng tables, inser ng data, upda ng data, dele ng data, etc.

# Create a table
[Link]('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Employees (
EmployeeID INT PRIMARY KEY,
LastName VARCHAR(50),
FirstName VARCHAR(50),
Department VARCHAR(50)
)''')
# Insert data into the table
[Link]("INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (1, 'Doe', 'John', 'IT')")
# Commit the transac on
connec [Link]()
```
4. **Fetching Data:**
You can fetch data from the database using methods like `fetchone()`, `fetchall()`, or by itera ng
over the cursor object.
```python
# Fetch data from the table
[Link]("SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE Department = 'IT'")
rows = [Link]()
for row in rows:
print(row)
```
5. **Closing the Connec on:**
Once you're done working with the database, it's important to close the connec on to release the
database resources.

# Close the connec on
connec [Link]()
```
This is a basic overview of using `sqlite3` in Python. Depending on the library you choose, the syntax
and methods may vary slightly, but the underlying principles remain similar.
