Rick, Michael could you guys give me an example of the connection string then? If I understand this correctly: You guys are saying that dsn=... would replace the host:port or host,port,databasename? Would this change allow to supply odbc options just like I can currently with "TDS_version=7.0" which can only be supplied at a connection? http://www.freetds.org/userguide/odbcconnattr.htm I'm not clear as far as what functionality you guys want to break: >From pyodbc docs the following are the connection strings so it would seem to me that these could be fairly easy to create based on dsn= or not in a sqlalchemy connection string. Unless I'm way of topic then just let me know. cnxn = pyodbc.connect("DSN=dsnname;UID=user;PWD=password") or cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=server;DATABASE=database;UID=user;PWD=password) Thanks, Lucas --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
