10.1. Transferring a text file to a table MySQL
The following script will transfer data from the following text file:
12620:13190:15640:24740:31810:39970:48360:55790:92970:127860:151250:172040:195000:0
0:0.05:0.1:0.15:0.2:0.25:0.3:0.35:0.4:0.45:0.5:0.55:0.6:0.65
0:631:1290.5:272.5:3309.5:4900:6898.5:9316.5:12106:16754.5:23147.5:30710:39312:49062
in the [impots] table of the following database MySQL [dbimpots]:
![]() |
The connection to the [dbimpots] database will be made using the credentials (root,"").
We will use the following architecture:
![]() |
The [console] script we are going to write will use the [ImpotsFile] class to access the data in the text file. Write access to the database will be performed using the methods discussed previously.
The script code is as follows:
# -*- coding=utf-8 -*-
# import of Impots class module
from impots import *
import re
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
def copyToMysql(limites,coeffR,coeffN,HOTE,USER,PWD,BASE,TABLE):
# copy the 3 numerical limit tables, coeffR, coeffN
# in table TABLE of database mysql BASE
# base mysql is on machine HOTE
# the user is identified by USER and PWD
# put SQL queries in a list
# table deletion
requetes=["drop table %s" % (TABLE)]
# table creation
requete="create table %s (limites decimal(10,2), coeffR decimal(6,2), coeffN decimal(10,2))" % (TABLE)
requetes.append(requete)
# filling
for i in range(len(limites)):
# insertion request
requetes.append("insert into %s (limites,coeffR,coeffN) values (%s,%s,%s)" % (TABLE,limites[i],coeffR[i],coeffN[i]))
# execute SQL commands

def executerCommandes(HOTE,ID,PWD,BASE,requetes,suivi=False,arret=True):

return [1,"Erreur lors de la connexion a MySQL sous l'identite (%s,%s,%s,%s) : %s" % (HOTE, ID, PWD, BASE, erreur)]
# a cursor is requested
curseur=connexion.cursor()
# execute SQL queries contained in the query list
# we run them - initially no errors
erreurs=[0]
for i in range(len(requetes)):
# put the query in a local variable
requete=requetes[i]
# do we have an empty query?
if re.match(r"^\s*$",requete):
continue
# query execution i

try:

# end
sys.exit()
Notes:
- lines 106–110: the [ImpotsFile] class presented in section 8.1 is instantiated;
- line 113: the limit arrays, coeffR and coeffN, are transferred to a database named MySQL;
- Line 8: The function copyToMysql performs this transfer. The function copyToMysql creates an array of requests to be executed and has them executed by the function executerCommandes, line 25;
- Lines 28–89: The function executerCommandes is the one already presented earlier in section 9.7, with one difference: instead of being in a text file, the queries are in a list;
The text file impots.txt:
12620:13190:15640:24740:31810:39970:48360:55790:92970:127860:151250:172040:195000:0

10.2. The tax calculation program
Now that the data needed for tax calculation is in a database, we can write the tax calculation script. We are again using a three-tier architecture:
![]() |
The new layer [dao] will be connected to SGBD and MySQL and will be implemented by the class [ImpotsMySQL]. It will provide the [metier] layer with the same interface as before, consisting of the single method getData, which returns the tuple (limits, coeffR, coeffN). Thus, the [metier] layer will not change compared to the previous version.
10.3. The [ImpotsMySQL] class
The [dao] layer is now implemented by the following [ImpotsMySQL] class (file impots.py):
class ImpotsMySQL:
# manufacturer
def __init__(self,HOTE,USER,PWD,BASE,TABLE):
# initialise les attributs limites, coeffR, coeffN
# the data required to calculate the tax has been placed in table mysqL TABLE
# belonging to the BASE database. The table has the following structure
# limits decimal(10,2), coeffR decimal(10,2), coeffN decimal(10,2)
# connection to the mysql database on the HOTE machine is made under the identity (USER,PWD)
# throws an exception if an error occurs
# connection to the mysql database
connexion=MySQLdb.connect(host=HOTE,user=USER,passwd=PWD,db=BASE)
# a cursor is requested
curseur=connexion.cursor()
# block reading of table TABLE
requete="select limites,coeffR,coeffN from %s" % (TABLE)
# executes the query [requete] on the base [base] of the connection [connexion]
curseur.execute(requete)
# query result evaluation
ligne=curseur.fetchone()
self.limites=[]
self.coeffR=[]
self.coeffN=[]
while(ligne):
# current line
self.limites.append(ligne[0])
self.coeffR.append(ligne[1])
self.coeffN.append(ligne[2])
# next line
ligne=curseur.fetchone()
# disconnect
connexion.close()
def getData(self):
return (self.limites, self.coeffR, self.coeffN)
Notes:
- Line 18: The query SQL SELECT retrieves data from the database MySQL. The result rows from SELECT are then processed one by one by [curseur.fetchone] (lines 22 and 32) to create the limit tables, coeffR, coeffN (lines 28–30);
- the getData method of the [dao] layer interface.
10.4. The console script
The console script code (impots_04) is as follows:
# -*- coding=utf-8 -*-
# import of Impots* class module
from impots import *
# ------------------------------------------------ main
# user identity
USER="root"
PWD=""
# the sgbd host machine
HOTE="localhost"
# base identity
BASE="dbimpots"
# data table identity
TABLE="impots"
# input file
DATA="data.txt"
# output file
RESULTATS="resultats.txt"
# instantiation layer [metier]
try:
metier=ImpotsMetier(ImpotsMySQL(HOTE,USER,PWD,BASE,TABLE))
except (IOError, ImpotsError) as infos:
print ("Une erreur s'est produite : {0}".format(infos))
sys.exit()
# the data required to calculate the tax has been placed in the IMPOTS file
# one line per table in the form
# val1:val2:val3,...
# reading data
try:
data=open(DATA,"r")
except:
print "Impossible d'ouvrir en lecture le fichier des donnees [DATA]"
sys.exit()
# open results file
try:
resultats=open(RESULTATS,"w")
except:
print "Impossible de creer le fichier des résultats [RESULTATS]"
sys.exit()
# utilities
u=Utilitaires()
# use the current line of the data file
ligne=data.readline()
while(ligne != ''):
# remove any end-of-line marker
ligne=u.cutNewLineChar(ligne)
# we retrieve the 3 fields married:children:salary which form the line
(marie,enfants,salaire)=ligne.split(",")
enfants=int(enfants)
salaire=int(salaire)
# tax calculation
impot=metier.calculer(marie,enfants,salaire)
# enter the result
resultats.write("{0}:{1}:{2}:{3}\n".format(marie,enfants,salaire,impot))
# a new line is read
ligne=data.readline()
# close files
data.close()
resultats.close()
Notes:
- Line 23: instantiation of layers [dao] and [metier];
- the rest of the code is familiar.
The same as with previous versions of the exercise.
