However, I am unable to find any good examples

Answer 1

The same syntax works for Ms SQL server using podbc also.

import pyodbc
import pandas.io.sql as psql

cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=servername;DATABASE=mydb;UID=username;PWD=password') 
cursor = cnxn.cursor()
sql = ("""select * from mytable""")

df = psql.frame_query(sql, cnxn)
cnxn.close()
