Question

I have a very large table (374870 rows) and when I run the following code timestamps just ends up being a long int with the value 374870…. I want to be able to grab all the timestamps in the table… but all I get is a long int :S

import MySQLdb

db = MySQLdb.connect(
                host    = "Some Host",
                user    = "SOME USER",
                passwd  = "SOME PASS",
                db      = "SOME DB",
                port    = 3306

        )

sql = "SELECT `timestamp` from `table`"

timestamps = db.cursor().execute(sql)

Answer 1

Try this:

cur = db.cursor()
cur.execute(sql)
timestamps = []
for rec in cur:
    timestamps.append(rec[0])
