Mastering Multiple For Loops in Python to Save DataFrames

When working with data in Python, especially in data analysis or data-driven applications, you often find the need to extract relevant information from databases using SQL. A common scenario is when you need to run multiple queries based on varying parameters and save the results into separate DataFrames. This guide will take you through a concise guide on how to achieve that effectively using for loops in Python.

The Challenge: Running Multiple Queries

Suppose you have a database and you want to query names of students categorized by class and student numbers. For example, you want to run queries to select names from a table based on class numbers (1 through 4) and subsets of student numbers (0 to 90, incrementing by 10). Each query should return results which you want to save into separate DataFrames named df_class1, df_class2, df_class3, and df_class4.

Here's a simplified version of the SQL query you might use:

With this setup in mind, let’s explore how to iterate through your parameters and save the results effectively.

The Solution: Iterate and Save

The solution involves using nested loops to manipulate both your inputs and classes. By formatting the SQL query strings correctly and executing them iteratively, you can fetch results and then save them into the appropriate DataFrames. Here’s how you can do it step-by-step:

Step 1: Set Up Your Input Ranges

First, you need the lists for possible student numbers and classes:

Step 2: Loop Through Inputs and Classes

Using nested loops, iterate through both the inputs and classes. This is where you format the query string and execute it:

Step 3: Saving Results to DataFrames

After retrieving the results from the database, convert them into a DataFrame and save each one to a file or as a separate DataFrame variable:

Conclusion

Using multiple for loops in Python to automate data retrieval and saving can drastically improve your efficiency in data analysis. With the structure provided in this post, you should be able to tailor the SQL queries and the resulting DataFrames to fit your specific project needs. Keep practicing and adapting this approach, and you'll soon find it to be an invaluable part of your data operations!
