A simple database interface for `Python`_ that builds on top of `FreeTDS`_ to
provide a Python DB-API (`PEP-249`_) interface to `Microsoft SQL Server`_.

.. _Microsoft SQL Server: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/
.. _Python: http://www.python.org/
.. _PEP-249: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/
.. _FreeTDS: http://www.freetds.org/

Detailed information on pymssql is available on the website:

`pymssql.readthedocs.io `_

New development is happening on GitHub at:

`github.com/pymssql/pymssql `_

There is a Google Group for discussion at:

`groups.google.com `_

Getting started
===============

pymssql wheels are available from PyPi. To install it run:

.. code-block:: bash

pip install -U pip
pip install pymssql

Most of the times this should be all what's needed.
The official pymssql wheels bundle a static copy of FreeTDS
and have SSL support so they can be used to connect to Azure.

.. note::
On some Linux distributions `pip` version is too old to support all
the flavors of manylinux wheels, so upgrading `pip` is necessary.
An example of such distributions would be Ubuntu 18.04 or
Python3.6 module in RHEL8 and CentOS8.

Basic example
=============

.. code-block:: python

conn = pymssql.connect(server, user, password, "tempdb")
cursor = conn.cursor(as_dict=True)

cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM persons WHERE salesrep=%s', 'John Doe')
for row in cursor:
print("ID=%d, Name=%s" % (row['id'], row['name']))

conn.close()
