MSSQL in python 2.7

Question

Is there a module available for connection of MSSQL and python 2.7?

I downloaded pymssql but it is for python 2.6. Is there any equivalent module for python 2.7?

Answer 1

Install pyodbc using pip as follows: pip install pyodbc

import pyodbc
cnxn = pyodbc.connect("DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=SOME-PC;DATABASE=my_db")
cursor = cnxn.cursor()


cursor.execute("insert into test_tb values(6, 'name')")

cursor.execute("select id, name from my_tb")
rows = cursor.fetchall()
for row in rows:
    print row.id, row.name
