Error while getting SQL data

Question

So I'm just pulling data from the database and I'm getting the following error. The code is as follows:

import pandas as pd
import sqlalchemy

engine = sqlalchemy.create_engine("mysql pymysql://root:@localhost:3306/haider")
df = pd.read_sql_table("ahmed", engine)

The following error occurred when running this code:

--------------------------------- ------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In [46], line 1
----> 1 df = pd.read_sql_table("ahmed", engine)

-> 1405 return self.connectable.execution_options().execute(*args, **kwargs)

AttributeError: 'OptionEngine' object has no attribute 'execute'

Note: I don’t have any password for my database, and I also have PyMySQL installed.

I am trying to explain the error I am getting while getting sql data using python and I would like a solution to the problem.

Answer 1

I highly recommend you try the following

engine = sqlalchemy.create_engine("mysql+pymysql://root:@localhost:3306/haider").connect()

I think you may be missing the final connect() part.
