“ImportError: DLL load failed” when trying to import pymssql on Windows

Question

I\'m trying to use the example code from here:

http://www.pymssql.org/en/latest/pymssql_examples.html

I installed the pymmsql module using pip.

Answer 1

I had this issue. The simplest solution for me was just to uninstall 2.1.2 then install 2.1.1:

pip uninstall pymssql

pip install "pymssql==2.1.1"
