Python needs a MySQL driver to access the MySQL [database](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12226/use-of-database-in-sencha-extjs-and-insert-record-from-user-form-using-ajax).

In this tutorial we will use the driver "MySQL Connector".

We recommend that you use PIP to install "MySQL Connector installation of mysql connector :

```
C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts>python -m pip install mysql-connector 
```

DataBase connector import in system :

```
import mysql.connector 
```

example :

```
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(   host="localhost",
  user="yourusername",
  passwd="yourpassword"
)
mycursor = mydb.cursor()

mycursor.execute("CREATE DATABASE mydatabase")
```
