Introduction to accessing SQL Server using Python under Windows and Linux

Often use Python to write the demo to verify the feasibility of the scheme, recently encountered a Python access to SQL Server problem, summarized here.

One, configure Python to access SQL Server under Windows

Environment: Windows 7 + SQL Server 2008

1. Download and install Pyodbc

Download Address: Http://code.google.com/p/pyodbc/downloads/list

2. Accessing SQL Server

The code is as follows:

>>> Import Pyodbc

>>>CNXN = Pyodbc.connect (' Driver={sql Server}; Server=192.168.1.100\\sql;database=testdb; Uid=sa; Pwd=mypassword ')

>>>cursor = Cnxn.cursor ()

>>>cursor.execute ("SELECT * from Tb")

II. Configure Python to access SQL Server under Linux

Environment: CentOS 6.2 + SQL Server 2008

1, installation FreeTDS:

The code is as follows:

Yum Install freetds*

2, installation Pyodbc:

The code is as follows:

Yum Install Pyodbc

To modify the ODBC configuration:

The code is as follows:

Vi/etc/odbcinst.ini

Add FreeTDS driver:

The code is as follows:

[SQL Server]

Description = FreeTDS ODBC driver for MSSQL

Driver =/usr/lib/libtdsodbc.so

Setup =/usr/lib/libtdss.so

FileUsage = 1

3. Testing

The code is as follows:

#python

>>> Import Pyodbc

>>>CNXN = Pyodbc.connect (' Driver={sql Server}; Server=192.168.1.100\\sql;database=testdb; Uid=sa; Pwd=mypassword ')

>>>cursor = Cnxn.cursor ()

>>>cursor.execute ("SELECT * from Tb")

Here is just a simple demo to verify the feasibility, hope to help you.
