How to Use PYODBC With SQL Servers in Python

We’ve worked with databases in previous videos, but we haven’t explored how to connect to a wide variety of data sources using the pyodbc library. With this library, we can connect to SQL servers, Access databases, and even Excel workbooks. In this video, we will explore how to connect to an SQL server and how to insert data into a database.

Excellent video. I followed along and was able to connect and executed SQL. Thank you for sharing!

[juanignacio]

This video was the most useful resource I found about pyodbc. Thank you!

[abu]

Thanks a lot for this video. It was very helpful in setting up the connection as I was struggling with it for a long time. You explained everything in an easy to understand manner. Thanks again!!

[foucault]

Thank you so much. Excellent explanation and worked example :)

[JackIsNotInTheBox]

[ketanbutte]

[yashpatel]

thanks are trying to connect azure sql with django from while....finally its done....thanks

[jeffrey]

Great video! Still very much relevant after 5 years 😍 Do you have a similar video where you include a SQL Script? Thank you 😊

[JackIsNotInTheBox]

Per the docs,

"Connections are automatically closed when they are deleted (typically when they go out of scope) so you should not normally need to call [conn.close()], but you can explicitly close the connection if you wish.
"

and similarly for cursors:

"Cursors are closed automatically when they are deleted (typically when they go out of scope), so calling [csr.close()] is not usually necessary."

Liked and subscribed. You are amazing at teaching.

[MatBat__]

Great vid!
Just a question, do you bother with rollback at all? Or does de odbc deal with it automaticly?

[nirajshah]

Very nice and detail explanation! Appreciating efforts! What if it is SQL authentication credentials require instead of windows authentication?

[mahesht]

Great Video!. Can you please clarify, how windows authentication will work when we connect to SQL server hosted in Azure VM.

[eagletrots]

Grt video and if you could create a video on exporting a data frame to sql server through python

[mrsprogrammer]

hey!! great video! just a quick question though, what if I have a large table in json and crazy amount of columns, any easier way that coding every column?

[ayushkathpalia]

Hey, thanks a lot for this video.It helped me alot. Though i not able to retrieve an image saved in sql server as image format .I would really appreciate some help. Thanks . Good work Dude!

[DavidSenh]

Thanks for the video. I followed the same exact steps and got an "invalid escape sequence \s" on the line where you set the server variable. how are you not getting that same error?

[akhilvyas]

I’m trying this method to import data from a excel file with 15 columns in a sql table with same 15 columns. I’m getting an error “string index out of range” in the line values = (row[0], How to fix this?

[ignacioa]

So you notated the server name here for your server in your example.

However, what’s the alternative I’f say you’re using SQLite which is a serverless, and pretty much SQLite dumps into simple file copies? How you pass it through and connect to SQLite?

this method INSERT very slowly, can you create a video on how to do fast_executemany
