How to Use PYODBC With Access Databases in Python

In our previous video, we saw how to pull data from an Excel workbook into our Python script using PYODBC. In this tutorial, we will cover a similar topic but focus on pulling data from an Access database. Additionally, we will also explore the PYODBC library in more detail and cover items like the connection object, columns objects, and the row object.

Thank you for this video. I can get it to connect to my database, but I am newby and would like a video if possible explaining the differences between a query in access and how to do the same slightly more complex queries in python. I think I am being tripped up by parameters and can't really make sense of the help without examples

Great job, as always! How would you deal with accdb files larger than 2 GB? It would become pretty slow. Maybe adding a few functions to create Multiple files and then being able to load multiple tables from the DBs into python to work its magic?

Really great lesson, Thank you so much.
Do you have a video about migrate CSV data to MS Access Using Python with Pandas and SqlAlchemy?
Let me have a link to that if you already have.
Thank you anyway. Happy new year 2023.

I have a question, I tried downloading the access engine driver, and I cannot still get any return value from myDataSources['MS ACCESS DATABASE']
and when I print the whole dictionary, it returns an empty curly braces

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge !! One question, when I execute the python code I get a dialog box "the operating system is not configured to execute this configuration" and it does not execute the code, will you know why? Thank you very much, I occupy Python 3.8.5 Office 2019 and Win 10 64 Bit

[derekchen]

Thanks for the video and hi .... when I try to run this code, it showing me a error message saying: Error: the operating system is not presently configured to run this application.. However the MS Access runs well on my PC. Do you know what could be the reason causing this?

[treehugginmegatron]

If I have a table that has columns "name" and "age", how can I query the .mdb to find the value of how old "john" is?

[rajeevagarwal]

Hi, I am running this code but getting below error on
line = pyodbc.connect(driver=access_driver, dbq=filepath)
InterfaceError: ('IM002', '[IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified (0) (SQLDriverConnect)')
Please help

[deepikaanand]

When I run the below code -
mydatasources = pyodbc.dataSources()

accessdriver = mydatasources['MS Access Database']
print(accessdriver)


It gives me an error - KeyError: 'MS Access Database'


Can you help

[secs_facts]

can any one help me
Iam getting an error: Error: ('HY000', 'The driver did not supply an error!')

[fernandojackson]

Do you know of a way of adding datasources to pyodbc? when I use pyodbc.dataSources, I only get {'AccessDb': 'ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server',
'AccessDbTable': 'ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server'}. Anyway I can get access to .mdb * and .accdb *?

[fernandojackson]

Could you please link to your other videos?

[DCMPSaliva]

its all good for me until crsr.execute - which throws me a debug of: Exception has occurred: ProgrammingError
('42000', '[42000] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in FROM clause. (-3506) (SQLExecDirectW)')

my Query line reads as: #def query
Query = "SELECT * FROM {}".format(table_name)
