  • 1.  Connecting from Python 3.9.18 to MS SQL server failure

    Posted Thu March 28, 2024 05:50 PM

    Hello,

    I have been trying to connect o MS SQL server from Python 3.9.18 using pyodbc package. But by so far no lock. I am wondering if anyone has success experience with connecting to SQL server from Python on AIX?

    Our environment: 

    Python 3.9.18 on AIX 7.2

    pyodbc package: version 5.0.1

    unixODBC from AIX Toolbox: version  2.3.9

    SQL driver: 'SAS Institute, Inc 7.1 SQL Server Legacy Wire Protocol' and 'SAS Institute, Inc 8.2 SQL Server Wire Protocol'

    Thanks

    Mi

    Hi Wang,

    Can you elaborate more on use case ?

    Are you trying to connect Microsoft SQL Server from AIX using python Pyodbc package ?

    As per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver16&tabs=redhat18-install%2Calpine17-install%2Cdebian8-install%2Credhat7-13-install%2Crhel7-offline  , Microsoft provides ODBC driver for various OS'es and I don't see AIX in list.

    So not sure if your use case can be achieved in AIX.

    I don't know what the topic starter means but there are open source ODBC drives for MS SQL like FreeTDS
