Loading large mysql select statements into python











up vote

I have two mysql databases called database A and database B. I want to use python to copy all the data from a table in database A to a table in database B. The datatable holds approximately 5M rows. I have written the following code:



connection = make_connection(source_db)
c = connection.cursor()
batch_size = 100000
while True:
batch = c.fetchmany(batch_size)
print('Extracted a batch.')
if not batch:
break
insert_data(batch)

connection.close()


I ran this code and it takes minutes for fetchmany() to extract a single batch. I've tried to use fetchall() without the while True statement but this takes even longer.



Question: How do I successfully speed up this process/what is the best way to load large select statements into python?
