解决mysqldb查询大量数据导致内存使用过高的问题

connection=MySQLdb.connect(
    host="thehost",user="theuser",
    passwd="thepassword",db="thedb")
cursor=connection.cursor()
cursor.execute(query)
for row in cursor.fetchall():
    print(row)

BaseCursor

The base class for Cursor objects. This does not raise Warnings.

CursorStoreResultMixIn

Causes the Cursor to use the mysql_store_result() function to get the query result. The entire result set is stored on the client side.

CursorUseResultMixIn

Causes the cursor to use the mysql_use_result() function to get the query result. The result set is stored on the server side and is transferred row by row using fetch operations.

CursorTupleRowsMixIn

Causes the cursor to return rows as a tuple of the column values.

CursorDictRowsMixIn

Causes the cursor to return rows as a dictionary, where the keys are column names and the values are column values. Note that if the column names are not unique, i.e., you are selecting from two tables that share column names, some of them will be rewritten as table.column. This can be avoided by using the SQL ASkeyword. (This is yet-another reason not to use * in SQL queries, particularly where JOIN is involved.)

Cursor

The default cursor class. This class is composed of CursorWarningMixIn, CursorStoreResultMixIn, CursorTupleRowsMixIn, and BaseCursor, i.e. it raises Warning, usesmysql_store_result(), and returns rows as tuples.

DictCursor

Like Cursor except it returns rows as dictionaries.

SSCursor

A "server-side" cursor. Like Cursor but uses CursorUseResultMixIn. Use only if you are dealing with potentially large result sets.

SSDictCursor

Like SSCursor except it returns rows as dictionaries.
