Hi All,
What's now the best way to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server instance
from a linux box? What's the recommended driver?
cheers,
Chris
I'm using pyodbc and freetds packages to connect to existing mssql
server 2008 running on windows.
here are my configurations:
FreeTDS config:
---------------------
tkizilay@tkizilay-linux:~$ cat /etc/freetds/freetds.conf
[TDS]
Description = FreeTDS Driver for Linux & MSSQL on Win32
Driver = /usr/lib/odbc/libtdsodbc.so
Setup = /usr/lib/odbc/libtdsS.so
[mssqlserver]
Driver = /usr/lib/odbc/libtdsodbc.so
Setup = /usr/lib/odbc/libtdsS.so
host = 192.168.0.10
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0
client charset = UTF-8
-----------------------
and this is /etc/odbc.ini:
------------------
tkizilay@tkizilay-linux:~$ cat /etc/odbc.ini
[MSSQLDB]
Driver = FreeTDS
Description = mssql server
Trace = No
Servername = mssqlserver
convert_unicode=True
client charset = utf8
-------------------
and this is the connection setup in python:
----------
engine=create_engine('mssql+pyodbc://SQLUSER:SQLPASSWORD@MSSQLDB?Database=TEST_DB')
DeclarativeBase = declarative_base()
metadata = DeclarativeBase.metadata
metadata.bind = engine
