Connect to MSSQL Database using Flask-SQLAlchemy

Question

I\'m trying to connect to a local MSSQL DB through Flask-SQLAlchemy.

Here\'s a code excerpt from my __init__.py file:

from flask import          


        

Answer 1

I believe your connection string is missing the authentication details. From Flask-SQLAlchemy documentation, the connection string should have the following format

dialect+driver://username:password@host:port/database

From your example, I believe it will look something like this

app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'mssql+pyodbc://:@:/LendApp'
