Python: Number of rows affected by cursor.execute("SELECT …)

Question

How can I access the number of rows affected by:

cursor.execute(\"SELECT COUNT(*) from result where server_state=\'2\' AND name LIKE \'\"+digest+\"_\"+charse         


        

Answer 1

To get the number of selected rows I usually use the following:

cursor.execute(sql)
count = (len(cursor.fetchall))
