In a MySQL database, the where clause is used to filter the data according to the specified conditions. Using the where clause, you can retrieve, remove, or update a specific set of data in a MySQL database.

MySQL WHERE Clause in Python:

The WHERE clause has already been employed in one of our earlier tutorials:

• MySQL data update using Python
• MySQL data can be deleted using Python.

Use the WHERE clause in the SELECT statement to select data from a table based on a specific condition.

• Rows from the result set are typically filtered using the WHERE clause.
• Data from the MySQL Table can be retrieved, updated, and deleted with its assistance.

Syntax:

Following is the syntax of the WHERE clause −

SELECT column1, column2, columnN
FROM table_name
WHERE [condition]

Example: Consider the following database named college and have a table name as a student.
Schema of the database:
 

import mysql.connector

#Establishing connection
conn = mysql.connector.connect(
user='your_username',
host='localhost',							password='your_password',
database='College')

# Creating a cursor object using
# the cursor() method
mycursor = conn.cursor();

# SQL Query
sql = "select * from Student where Roll_no >= 21;"

# Executing query
mycursor.execute(sql)

myresult = mycursor.fetchall()

for x in myresult:
	print(x)

# Closing the connection
conn.close()

The where clause retrieves the records with roll number value greater than 21.
