creating mysql tables through python - mysql

Question

I have a problem creating tables. I use the code below and on one machine it works perfectly well. On another machine, it does not give any error but also does not create the tables. I believe it has something to do with the conda environment but I made a new environment and I still get the same error. There is no difference in library versions between the machine where it works and where it does not work
python=3.7
mysql-connector-python=8.0.18. The funny thing is if I execute a select statement I get valid results.
import mysql.connector
import configparser
config = configparser.RawConfigParser()
config.read('config.ini')
conn = mysql.connector.connect(host=config['mysql report server 8']['host'],
port= config['mysql report server 8']['port'],
user=config['mysql report server 8']['user'],
password=config['mysql report server 8']['password'],
allow_local_infile=True,
autocommit=1
)
mycursor = conn.cursor()
def create_tables(mycursor,name_of_import:str):
with open(r"../SupportFiles/Table_Create_Query.sql") as f:
create_tables_str = f.read()
create_tables_str = create_tables_str .replace("xxx_replaceme",name_of_import)
mycursor.execute(create_tables_str,multi=True)
create_tables(mycursor,"my_test_import")
conn.commit()
conn.close()
the file Table_Create_Query.sql has the following contents
use cb_bht3_0_20_048817_raw;
create table xxx_replaceme_categories (
cid int,
variable varchar(255),
name varchar(255),
value int,
ordr int,
label varchar(255)
);
