Python MySQL - Where Clause

Last Updated : 28 Apr, 2025

Where clause is used in MySQL database to filter the data as per the condition required. You can fetch, delete or update a particular set of data in MySQL database by using where clause.
Syntax
 

SELECT column1, column2, .... columnN FROM [TABLE NAME] WHERE [CONDITION]; 
 

The above syntax is used for displaying a certain set of data following the condition.
Example: Consider the following database named college and having a table name as a student.
Schema of the database:
 

  Database:

Steps to use where clause in Python is: 
 

1. First form a connection between MySQL and Python program. It is done by importing mysql.connector package and using mysql.connector.connect() method, for passing the user name, password, host (optional default: localhost) and, database (optional) as parameters to it.
2. Now, create a cursor object on the connection object created above by using cursor() method. A database cursor is a control structure that enables traversal over the records in a database.
3. Then, execute the where clause statement by passing it through execute() method.

import mysql.connector
 
#Establishing connection
conn = mysql.connector.connect(user='your_username',
                               host='localhost',
                               password ='your_password',
                               database='College')
 
# Creating a cursor object using 
# the cursor() method
mycursor = conn.cursor();
 
# SQL Query
sql = "select * from Student where Roll_no >= 3;"
 
# Executing query
mycursor.execute(sql)
 
myresult = mycursor.fetchall()
 
for x in myresult:
    print(x)

# Closing the connection
conn.close()
