6.9.5.9 MySQLCursor.fetchall() Method

Syntax:

rows = cursor.fetchall()

The method fetches all (or all remaining) rows of a query result set and returns a list of tuples. If no more rows are available, it returns an empty list.

The following example shows how to retrieve the first two rows of a result set, and then retrieve any remaining rows:

>>> cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM employees ORDER BY emp_no")
>>> head_rows = cursor.fetchmany(size=2)
>>> remaining_rows = cursor.fetchall()

You must fetch all rows for the current query before executing new statements using the same connection.
