return column names from pyodbc execute() statement

Question

from pandas import DataFrame
import pyodbc

cnxn = pyodbc.connect(databasez)
cursor.execute(\"\"\"SELECT ID, NAME AS Nickname, ADDRESS AS Residence FROM tablez\"\"\"         


        

Answer 1

Improving on the previous answer, in the context of pandas, I found this does exactly what I expect:

DF.columns = DataFrame(np.matrix(cursor.description))[0]
