Okay, I log onto the MySQL command-line client as root. I then open or otherwise run a python app using the MySQLdb module as root. When I check the results using python (IDLE), everything looks fine. When I use the MySQL command-line client, no INSERT has occurred. If I change things around to _mysql instead of MySQLdb, everything works fine. I'd appreciate any clarification(s).
"Works" until IDLE/Virtual machine is reset:
<pre><code>import MySQLdb
db = MySQLdb.connect(user='root', passwd='*******',db='test')
cursor = db.cursor()
cursor.execute("""INSERT INTO test VALUES ('somevalue');""",)</code></end>
Works:
<pre><code>import _mysql
db = _mysql.connect(user='root', passwd='*******',db='test')
db.query("INSERT INTO test VALUES ('somevalue');")</code></end>
