I am learning how to do MySQL in python using the mysql.connector module. However, whenever I try creating a connection, I get the error "mysql.connector.errors.InterfaceError: 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost:3306' (10061 No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it)".
I done the exact same as the example that I am using states, and it still isn't working.
Below is the two different type of the example provided:
import mysql.connector
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
host="localhost",
user="yourusername",
password="yourpassword"
)
print(mydb)
and
import mysql.connector
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
host="localhost",
user="myusername",
password="mypassword"
)
print(mydb)
I tried exactly what the example said, and it didn't work. I also tried using a different username and password, but kept on getting the same error.
Any idea what I can do to get the expected output which, according to the second example that I am referring to, is:
<mysql.connector.connection.MySQLConnection object ar 0x016645F0>
?
Thank you in advance
import mySQL.connector
Mybd=mysql.connector.connect(
host='myusername',
user='myusername',
password='mypassword',
database='mydatabase')
Cursor=mycon.cursor()
Cursor.execute('show databases')
Data=cursor.fetchall()
for row in data:
Print(row)
mycon.close()
I'm trying to connect to my SQL database on pythonanywhere and to connect I'm running this.
import MySQLdb
conn = MySQLdb.connect("MYUSERNAME.mysql.pythonanywhere-services.com","MYUSERNAME","DBPASSWORD","DBTABLENAME")
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute("SELECT * from game_db")
rows = c.fetchall()
for eachrow in rows:
print(eachrow)
I'm doing this from my laptop and I get this error when trying to connect.
_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on MYUSERNAME.mysql.pythonanywhere-services.com' (10060)")
Is there some sort of authentication I need to do or is there some other problem.
Thank you!
the pythonanywhere mysql service isn't accessible from outside pythonanywhere (unless you have a paid account, in which case you can use an ssh tunnel: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/AccessingMySQLFromOutsidePythonAnywhere/)
I just started to learn python and try to connect to oracle 11g, but I always get following error
cx_Oracle.InternalError: No Oracle error?
Here is my simple script to connect to oracle
import cx_Oracle as oracle
con = oracle.connect('user/password#ip:port/service')
Already try to look for any reference in other sites including here but can't find the solution. I don't think I have connection issue to oracle, because I use the same PC to connect to oracle using PHP.
Any advise would be appreciated, thanks.
One thing to keep in mind anytime you work with Oracle is that they use a proprietary connection protocol TNS (Transparent Network Substrate).
Therefore, you might need to use the cx_Oracle.makedsn(ip, port, SID) method and then pass it to cx_Oracle.connect() method to create your connection. Thus the general format on how to set up Oracle connection is:
import cx_Oracle
ip = 'xxx.xxx.xx.xxx'
port = 'xxxx'
SID = 'SID'
username = 'username'
password = 'password'
dsn_tns = cx_Oracle.makedsn(ip, port, SID)
db = cx_Oracle.connect(username, password, dsn_tns)
This is assuming you have already gotten cx_Oracle to work and import properly, which can be finicky depending on your environment.
I am trying to use Python to connect to a SQL database by using Window authentication. I looked at some of the posts here (e.g., here), but the suggested methods didn't seem to work.
For example, I used the following code:
cnxn = pyodbc.connect(driver='{SQL Server Native Client 11.0}',
server='SERVERNAME',
database='DATABASENAME',
trusted_connection='yes')
But I got the following error:
Error: ('28000', "[28000] [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]
Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\\username'. (18456) (SQLDriverConnect); [28000] [Microsoft]
[SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\\username'.
(18456)")
(Note that I replaced the actual domain name and user name with DOMAIN and username respectively, in the error message above.)
I also tried using my UID and PWD, which led to the same error.
Lastly, I tried to change the service account by following the suggestion from the link above, but on my computer, there was no Log On tab when I went to the Properties of services.msc.
I wonder what I did wrong and how I can fix the problem.
Connecting from a Windows machine:
With Microsoft's ODBC drivers for SQL Server, Trusted_connection=yes tells the driver to use "Windows Authentication" and your script will attempt to log in to the SQL Server using the Windows credentials of the user running the script. UID and PWD cannot be used to supply alternative Windows credentials in the connection string, so if you need to connect as some other Windows user you will need to use Windows' RUNAS command to run the Python script as that other user..
If you want to use "SQL Server Authentication" with a specific SQL Server login specified by UID and PWD then use Trusted_connection=no.
Connecting from a non-Windows machine:
If you need to connect from a non-Windows machine and the SQL Server is configured to only use "Windows authentication" then Microsoft's ODBC drivers for SQL Server will require you to use Kerberos. Alternatively, you can use FreeTDS ODBC, specifying UID, PWD, and DOMAIN in the connection string, provided that the SQL Server instance is configured to support the older NTLM authentication protocol.
I tried everything and this is what eventually worked for me:
import pyodbc
driver= '{SQL Server Native Client 11.0}'
cnxn = pyodbc.connect(
Trusted_Connection='Yes',
Driver='{ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server}',
Server='MyServer,1433',
Database='MyDB'
)
Try this cxn string:
cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=localhost;PORT=1433;DATABASE=testdb;UID=me;PWD=pass')
http://mkleehammer.github.io/pyodbc/
I had similar issue while connecting to the default database (MSSQLSERVER). If you are connecting to the default database, please remove the
database='DATABASENAME',
line from the connection parameters section and retry.
Cheers,
Deepak
The first option works if your credentials have been stored using the command prompt. The other option is giving the credentials (UId, Psw) in the connection.
The following worked for me:
conn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=yourServer;DATABASE=yourDatabase;UID=yourUsername;PWD=yourPassword')
import pyodbc #For python3 MSSQL
cnxn = pyodbc.connect("Driver={SQL Server};" #For Connection
"Server=192.168.0.***;"
"PORT=1433;"
"Database=***********;"
"UID=****;"
"PWD=********;")
cursor = cnxn.cursor() #Cursor Establishment
cursor.execute('select site_id from tableName') #Execute Query
rs = cursor.fetchall()
print(rs)
A slightly different use case than the OP, but for those interested it is possible to connect to a MS SQL Server database using Windows Authentication for a different user account than the one logged in.
This can be achieved using the python jaydebeapi module with the JDBC JTDS driver. See my answer here for details.
Note that you may need to change the authentication mechanism. For example, my database is using ADP. So my connection looks like this
pyodbc.connect(
Trusted_Connection='No',
Authentication='ActiveDirectoryPassword',
UID=username,
PWD=password,
Driver=driver,
Server=server,
Database=database)

Trusted_connection=no did not helped me. When i removed entire line and added UID, PWD parameter it worked. My takeaway from this is remove
I am attempting to connect to SQL Server Management Studio. My code is below and returns the error: "init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'trusted'." I am using pymysql, would like to connect using Windows Authentication, and am running on 64 bit windows machine. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit - removed trusted. Error I am now receiving is 'No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it'
import pymysql
import pymysql.cursors
conn = pymysql.connect(host = 'DESKTOP-6CIMC97')
Have you checked out the example on GitHub? trusted doesn't seem to be required.
