PyMySQL unable to execute multiple queries
In pymysql version 0.8 onwards client flag is no longer set by default. For executing multiple statements one needs to passclient_flag=CLIENT.MULTI_STATEMENTS.
reference: https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/v0.9.3/CHANGELOG#L66
Example of the fix below.
import pymysqlfrom pymysql.constants import CLIENTconn = { "host": "mysql_server_hostname", "password": "my_password", "port": <<port_no>>, "user": "my_username", "client_flag": CLIENT.MULTI_STATEMENTS}my_query_str = 'show databases;use random_existing_db;'with pymysql.connect(**conn) as cur: cur.execute(my_query_str)
That's right, I used the client_flag = CLIENT.MULTI_STATEMENTS parameter to take effect.
