DataFrame to SQlite table in Colab platform using to_sql()

Inside Colab platform (left side ) use the session drive and upload the sample student excel file.
Colab file upload during Runtime

Create the DataFrame using read_excel() and the student Excel file.

import pandas as pd
df=pd.read_excel('student.xlsx') # DataFrame created using student file

read_excel() to create DataFrame from Excel at Colab

Create the SQlite database and store the same in session drive.

from sqlalchemy import create_engine,text
from sqlalchemy.exc import SQLAlchemyError
path="sqlite:///my_data.db" # create a SQLite database in google colab session storage
my_conn = create_engine(path)
my_conn=my_conn.connect() # connection is established 
try:    
    result = my_conn.execute(text("select name from sqlite_master where type = 'table'"))
    for row in result:
      print(row) # Display all tables in SQLite database 
except SQLAlchemyError as e:
        error = str(e.__dict__['orig'])
        print(error)

Creating SQlite database in Colab Platform

Check the table list from SQLite database

df.to_sql(con=my_conn,name='student') # create student table in sqlite database

try:    
    result = my_conn.execute(text("select name from sqlite_master where type = 'table'"))
    for row in result:
      print(row) # List all tables in our SQLite database 
except SQLAlchemyError as e:
        error = str(e.__dict__['orig'])
        print(error)

('student',)

From student table, display records.

result = my_conn.execute(text("SELECT *  FROM student"))
for row in result:
  print(row) # display row from student table.

Use conditions to get matching records from SQLite database student table.

result = my_conn.execute(text("SELECT *  FROM student WHERE mark > 80 AND class='Five'"))
for row in result:
  print(row) # display row from student table.
