Hello Thomas, Unfortunately i don't know anything about python excepted that i should learn it ! Could you give me an estimation of the time needed by a newbie to script a MySql reader for pd ?
MySQL-Python modules can be found here: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-python.html and examples are given in http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/Python/PythonMySQL/print_html
#!/usr/bin/python
# import MySQL module import MySQLdb
# connect db = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", user="joe", passwd="secret",db="db56a")
# create a cursor cursor = db.cursor()
# execute SQL statement cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM animals")
# get the resultset as a tuple result = cursor.fetchall()
# iterate through resultset for record in result: print record[0] , "-->", record[1]
For simplicity you should probably start with py (instead of pyext) - have a look at the examples.
best greetings, Thomas
