###Initiating MySQL DB COnnection on Local Machine
def connect():
    try:
        conn = mysql.connector.connect(host='localhost',
        database='python_mysql',
        user='root',
        password='secret')
        if conn.is_connected():
            print('Connected to MySQL database')

    except Error as e:
        print(e)

    finally:
        conn.close()
    if name == 'main':
        connect()

###Creating Table on Local Machine

hotel_table = Table('Hotels', metadata,
Column('Hotelname', String),
Column('Hotelrating', String),)


metadata.create_all()

ins = hotel_table.insert()
for i in range(0,10):
    name[i].encode('ascii','ignore')
    rating[i].encode('ascii','ignore')

params = [(name[i], rating[i]) for i in range(10)]

###Inserting Data into MySQL Table 
def insert_hotels(params):
    query = "INSERT INTO hotel_table(hotel_name,hotel_rating) VALUES(%s,%s)"

try:
    db_config = read_db_config()
    conn = MySQLConnection(**db_config)

    cursor = conn.cursor()
    cursor.executemany(query, params)

    conn.commit()
except Error as e:
    print('Error:', e)

finally:
    cursor.close()
    conn.close()
def main():
    insert_hotels(params)

if name == 'main':
    main()
