Hi Jie,
Thank you for your tutorial! I found them really helpful for my project, especially the one "Import data to SQL Server from Google Sheets using python".

Quick (dumb) question, how did you find the drive_name that is defined in the code? I am using Azure SQL database. Appreciate your help.

Got this error :-

pypyodbc.Error: ('IM002', '[IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified')

Of course it did not work for me. I have been struggling with this for months. When I pressed F5 it came up with a pop up asking me to copy a file, so when I pressed ok it said that file already exists. So I tried to choose a different file name and it is asking me to register a new file type association which i totally do not understand.

hi i ask you question : how we can get sql database online and then we connect in python?

[Wonderfull_Hasti]

Thank you for your tutorial . Is there any preference between pypyodbc and pyodbc?

[benjaminschwartz]

Is there a way to convert this to a SQLAlchemy engine object in order to make this compatible with pandas?

[harryfeng]

is there a way to have the python script automatically update the connection in a fixed interval??? i.e. practically always retrieve the latest data from the SQL server

You demo is rather simple, to add value to your video, It would be good if you can demo or prove your connection string is able to access data from the database server. I ran into sample problem when connecting to SQL Server with Python, just a space will break the connection. example:
Driver=SQL Server (this works); vs
Driver = SQL Server; (won't work with the trailing space after Driver.

hello, I find your video very useful, but when i try to run the code there is this error: "Import "pypyodbc" could not be resolved". it has to do with the editor in vscode, but i didn t find anything helpful yet
