python-pandas and databases like mysql

Question

The documentation for Pandas has numerous examples of best practices for working with data stored in various formats.

However, I am unable to find any good examples

Answer 1

This helped for me for connecting to AWS MYSQL(RDS) from python 3.x based lambda function and loading into a pandas DataFrame

import json
import boto3
import pymysql
import pandas as pd
user = 'username'
password = 'XXXXXXX'
client = boto3.client('rds')
def lambda_handler(event, context):
    conn = pymysql.connect(host='xxx.xxxxus-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com', port=3306, user=user, passwd=password, db='database name', connect_timeout=5)
    df= pd.read_sql('select * from TableName limit 10',con=conn)
    print(df)
    # TODO implement
    #return {
    #    'statusCode': 200,
    #    'df': df
    #}
