Ok, I will give it yet another try, but please note that the following works:
import pyodbc
from sqlalchemy.engine import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.ext.sqlsoup import SqlSoup
def connect():
return
pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={FreeTDS};SERVER=10.230.128.140;PORT=1433;DATABASE=ZFP_CRM;UID=efractal;PWD=efR@cZFP13;TDS_VERSION=8.0;')
engine = create_engine('mssql+pyodbc://', creator=connect)
db = SqlSoup(engine)
x = db.execute("select * from mlm_spol").fetchone()
print x
i.e. raw SqlSoup.execute() sees the table and returns a valid result.
I regard this as a proof that the connection was established successfully and
the problem lies elsewhere. Am I wrong?
