Why is the returned value is none in this Python/MySQL search

Question

I have this little code

cquery = "SELECT * FROM `workers` WHERE `Username` = (%s)"
cvalue = (usernameR,)
flash(cquery)
flash(cvalue)
x = c1.execute(cquery, cvalue)
flash(x)

usernameR is a string variable I got it's value from a form

x supposed to be the number of rows or some value but it returns none I need it's value for one if.

I tested it with a value that is in the table in one row so thats not the case the the value is not there or something. But if it's not there in that case the x should return 0 or something.

I cant work out what's the problem after several hours.

value of cvalue:

('Csabatron99',)

Edit for solution:

I needed to add the rowcount and fetchall to the code like this:

cquery = "SELECT * FROM `workers` WHERE `Username` = (%s)"
cvalue = (usernameR,)
flash(cquery)
flash(cvalue)
c1.execute(cquery, cvalue)
c1.fetchall()
a = c1.rowcount

Answer 1

cursor.execute() doesn't return anything in the normal case. If you use the multi=True argument, it returns an iterator used to get results from each of the multiple queries.

To get the number of rows returned by the query, use the rowcount attribute.

c1.execute(cquery, cvalue)
flash(c1.rowcount)
