Context

• SQL and Python are indispensable tools for data practitioners to work effectively with data. 
• A common use case would be the retrieval of data from relational databases using SQL queries, followed by manipulation and analysis of the data in Python with libraries such as pandas.
• But did you know that these two seemingly isolated tasks can be combined into a single Python script to deliver the same outcome more easily?
• In this project, we discover the concepts and implementation of PyMySQL for connecting to and interacting with MySQL databases from Python.
