Can't open lib 'ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server'? Sym linking issue?

Question

When I try to connect to a sql server database with pyodbc (on mac):

import pyodbc

server = \'####\'
database = \'####\'
username = \'####@####\'
password =         


        

Answer 1

I was building a custom image on top of Python and this is the configuration that made it work:

FROM python:3.8 as pyodbc

COPY . /app
WORKDIR /app

# Required for msodbcsql17 and mssql-tools
RUN curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | apt-key add -
RUN curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/debian/10/prod.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mssql-release.list
RUN apt-get update

# Key might change in the future, replace with new one on the logs
RUN apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys BA6932366A755776
