MS SQL Driver?
-
last edited byIs there a driver that will permit sqlalchemy to communicate with MS SQL Server? pyodbc requires c libraries so it cannot be installed. MySQL and pymysql work fine but I need to connect to MS SQL.

last edited byI found the pypyodbc driver which is pure python but when I try to import it I get this error:
import pypyodbc
Traceback (most recent call last):

last edited by@ihf seems to work only on MacOS and Linux, and to be not really "pure Python"

last edited byThat's too bad. It would appear there is no way to get sqlalchemy on Pythonista to connect to SQL Server.

last edited bypyodbc is written in c.
I think some options would be to run a bridge program on your PC, or even something like a raspberry pi, that acts like a sql server, but just passes cursor commands/data to the mssql server.

last edited byThe drivers work with MySQL but I guess no one has seen a need for a pure python driver for MS SQL.

last edited byIn case anyone else has the need to use Pythonista to talk to MS SQL server, I just found and successfully tested the pure python MS SQL driver python-tds.

last edited by@ihf I don't need it but that's a good news
