ok, ok, assuming that dsn-less connections actually do ignore the .conf file and require all that stuff to be specified.
here's the question that I'm trying to ask: instead of something like this: create_engine('mssql://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/database', odbc_driver='TDS', odbc_autotranslate='No', odbc_tds_ver='8.0') how about this: create_engine('mssql://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/database', odbc_connect='DRIVER=TDS; TDS_Version=8.0; OtherODBCStuff=goes here') do you see the difference? Instead of providing a hundred and one ODBC-specific keyword options, we just allow you to specify part of the ODBC connect string directly. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
