I have installed Apache superset locally using docker-compose using docker-compose -f docker-compose-non-dev.yml up and now when i try to connect it to ms server using connection string it doesnot work either with pyodbc or mssql, also i tested the connection string using python script and it works proprly but not in superset
the connection string is mssql+pyodbc://UserName:password#host:port/TestSchema
I'm trying to connect to a MS access database using the following code:
from PyQt5.QtSql import QSqlDatabase
db = QSqlDatabase.addDatabase("QODBC")
db.setDatabaseName(
"DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=D:\\database.accdb")
if db.open(): print("opened")
I have office 2019 installed.
I cannot figure out what is wrong in the connection string or the driver.
I figured out that this problem happened because I have a 64-bit of python and a 32-bit of access database engine driver.
After installing the 64-bit access database engine driver, I managed to get it work.
I cannot connect to AS400 version of DB2 via SQLAlchemy (both ibm_db, ibm_db_sa libraries stall when executing queries). The link below gives a solution via ODBC and pyodbc but I only have access to an ubuntu server and not windows for this task. Any suggestions on how to make python work with AS400 DB2?

Hi I'm trying to use Python 3 with MS SQL Server Express 2008 R2.
I'm using Visual Studio as an IDE, and trying to use pymssql.
In my code I did the following:
conn = _mssql.connect(server='GAL-PC\SQLEXPRESS', user='gal', password='pass', \
database='tempdb')
I've set the user name and the password using MS SQL Server Management Studio.
All I'm getting is this error:
_mssql.MSSQLDriverException: Connection to the database failed for an unknown reason.
Why is my code giving me an error?
How can i connect to remote MS Access DB using pyodbc, before i can able to connect to MS SQL server using pyodbc via freetds. But if i use the same freetds configuration for remote access, 'i'm not getiing the success.
Any suggestions?
freeTDS is ODBC driver for using the TDS communication protocol. MS SQL Server uses the TDS protocol.
Access does not, so it is not a surprise that it doesn't work. What you need is an ODBC driver for the Jet engine used by Access. And it exists. It is called libmdb. You can install the packages to get it set up.
