Question

I have a table, and I want to execute a query that will return the values of two rows:

    cursor.execute("""SELECT `egg_id`
                      FROM `groups`
                      WHERE `id` = %s;""", (req_id))
    req_egg = str(cursor.fetchone())
    print req_egg

The column egg_id has two rows it can return for that query, however the above code will only print the first result — I want it to also show the second, how would I get both values?

Edit: Would there be any way to store each one in a separate variable, with fetchmany?

Answer 1

in this case you can use fetchmany to fetch a specified number of rows:

req_egg = cursor.fetchmany(2)

edit:

but be aware: if you have a table with many rows but only need two, then you should also use a LIMIT in your sql query, otherwise all rows are returned from the database, but only two are used by your program.
