I'm having issues connecting to a working SQL\Express database instance using Robot Framework's DatabaseLibrary.
If I use either Connect To Database with previously defined variables or Connect To Database Using Custom Params with a connection string, I get the following results:
pyodbc: ('08001', '[08001] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. (17) (SQLDriverConnect); [01000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect()). (53)')
pymssql:: InterfaceError: Connection to the database failed for an unknown reason.
The connection string I'm using is the following: 'DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=localhost\SQLExpress;UID=sa;PWD=mypass;DATABASE=MyDb'
I copied several examples from guides and tutorials and all of them yield the same result, so my guess is that there is something wrong on my end, but I just can't figure out what. I can access the database using the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio just fine, so the database is running.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated!
I was able to connect using #Goralight approach: Connect To Database Using Custom Params pymssql ${DBConnect} where ${DBConnect} contained database, user, Password, host and port

I am receiving a very common error while trying to connect Microsoft SQL Server using pyodbc. I've tried the solutions suggested here before, but none of them solved my problem.
import pyodbc
conn = pyodbc.connect('Driver={SQL Server};'
'Server= server_name;'
'Database= database_name;'
'UID= user_id;'
'PWD= password;')
InterfaceError: ('28000', "[28000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]
Login failed for user ' '. (18456) (SQLDriverConnect); [28000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]
[SQL Server]Login failed for user ' '. (18456)")
When I connect the database via Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18 app, below is how I connect. I copy and paste server name, login, and password information to my Python code as shown above. My OS is Windows 10. When I call select ##version, I get Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (SP3-GDR) (KB4583463)...
Admittedly my python skills are not the best but I'm suspicious of all the single quotes in your connection string.
In the error message Login failed for user ' ' is that blank value for the use what you actually see or have you stripped that out? If that's what you actually see then I think your connection string is malformed.
Refer to the sample here for how to build out a connection string.
I am trying to access tables in SQL database in Azure Managed Instance (with IP: xxxx.database.windows.net) from a python script in Azure VM machine but I am getting the Operational Error below. I have tried with 2 different ways below.
Error:
OperationalError: ('08001', '[08001] [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0]TCP Provider: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.\r\n (10060) (SQLDriverConnect); [08001] [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0]Login timeout expired (0); [08001] [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0]A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online. (10060)')
1st way with connectionString:
import pandas as pd
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
engine = create_engine("mssql+pyodbc://<username>:<password>#<server>/<database>?driver=SQL+Server+Native+Client+11.0")
query = "select * from table"
df=pd.read_sql(query,engine)
2nd way with connectionString:
import pyodbc
server = 'xxx.database.windows.net'
database = 'database'
username = 'username'
password = 'password'
driver= '{SQL Server Native Client 11.0}'
with pyodbc.connect('DRIVER='+driver+';SERVER='+server+';PORT=1433;DATABASE='+database+';UID='+username+';PWD='+ password) as conn:
with conn.cursor() as cursor:
cursor.execute("SELECT TOP 3 name, collation_name FROM sys.databases")
row = cursor.fetchone()
while row:
print (str(row[0]) + " " + str(row[1]))
row = cursor.fetchone()
Besides, I have also tried to change the driver to drivers below, still no luck.
{ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server}
{ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server}
{ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server}
{SQL Server Native Client 11.0}
Interesting part is, if I try the connect with the same connection string from on-premise machine which is not Azure VM (ex: my local machine or other servers I can RDP to), I can access the database. But when I try on a Azure VM machine, it is timing out. Do you have any ideas how to fix this problem?
Thank you for inputs.
So in the end we foud out that firewall caused this problem. We need to check firewall rules first.
I have a database server which can be accessed by Remote desktop login to the server machine. This is what we do manually:
Login with Remote desktop to the machine from local.
Open Database client in the connected machine.
Then connect to database.
Now, I need to connect to this DB using python.
What I already tried?.. below works for all DB that I connect without remote.
conn = pyodbc.connect("DRIVER={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};SERVER=<server name>;database=<DB name>;UID=<user>;PWD=<pwd>")
Error:
pyodbc.OperationalError: ('08001', u'[08001] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver
17 for SQL Server]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to
SQL Server [53]. (53) (SQLDriverConnect); [08001] [Microsoft][ODBC

before you use below code in python, you have to follow this guide to configure your SQL server https://knowledgebase.apexsql.com/configure-remote-access-connect-remote-sql-server-instance-apexsql-tools/
note: 1434 is my UDP port in Inbound Rules
conn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER = your_server_ipv4,1434;DATABASE=B_SQL;UID=sa;PWD=123456;')
cursor = conn.cursor()
#cursor.execute("DELETE FROM my_table")
for index, row in df.iterrows():
#print(row)
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO my_table([Name],[Volume]) values(?,?)", row['Name'], row['Volume'])
conn.commit()
cursor.close()
conn.close()
it works very well for me!
Can you connect to your SQL Server from another application, including Excel?
If you cannot, I would check the following:
Remote into the server and open the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
There should be a section labeled SQL Server Network Configuration that will have an entry for "Protocols for ". If you click on that entry, you will see which protocols are enabled for your database.
Click on TCP/IP and select properties. Under the IP addresses, each IP listed may need to have a port listed.
Once that is done, make sure that port is enabled in your firewall on the server for both Inbound and Outbound.
When I managed a SQL-driven application, we normally got the Named Pipes error when there was other connection issues such as firewall issues or the SQL Server Browser or instance not running.
If this is not sufficient to resolve the issue, there are a ton of other options on MSSQL Tips.
I used the pyodbc and pypyodbc python package to connect to SQL server.
Drivers used anyone of these ['SQL Server', 'SQL Server Native Client 10.0', 'ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server', 'ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server'].
connection string :
connection = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};'
'Server=aaa.database.windows.net;'
'DATABASE=DB_NAME;'
'UID=User_name;'
'PWD=password')
now I am getting error message like
DatabaseError: (u'28000', u"[28000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user
But I can connect to the server through the SQL server management studio.
its on SQL Server Authentication, Not Windows Authentication.
Is this about python package and driver issue or DB issue??? how to solve?
You can add Trusted_Connection=NO; in your connection string after the password
I see you have no port defined in your script.
The general way to connect to a server using pyodbc ${DBName} ${DBUser} ${DBPass} ${DBHost} ${DBPort}, where DBName is your database name, DBUser is the username used to connect to it, DBPass is the password, DBHost is the URL of your database, and DBPort is the port you use to connect to your DB.
I use MS SQL so my port is 1433, yours might be different.
I've had this issue just today, and that fixed it.
The problem is not driver issue, you can see the error message is DatabaseError: Login failed for user, it means this problem occurs if the user tries to log in with credentials that cannot be validated. I suspect you are login with your windows Authentication, if so, use Trusted_Connection=yes instead:
connection = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};Server=aaa.database.windows.net;DATABASE=DB_NAME;Trusted_Connection=yes')
For more details, please refer to my old answer about the difference of SQL Server Authentication modes.
I think problem because of driver definition in your connection string. You may try with below.
connection = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server Native Client 10.0}; Server=aaa.database.windows.net; DATABASE=DB_NAME; UID=User_name; PWD=password')
I applied your connection string and updated it with my server connections details and it worked fine.
Are you sure your are passing correct user name and password ?
Login failed implies connection was established successfully, but authentication didn't pass.
Is there a way to connect to MySQL database with Windows Authentication in Python? It is enabled on MySQL server, I login into it with Microsoft MySQL Server Management Studio no problem. However, usual setup:
import MySQLdb
db = MySQLdb.connect(host="sampleserver\\demo",
db="sample")
doesnt seem to work. In fact, host is not even recognized. Our DBA didnt give me a endpoint aside from that host. It works for the Management Studio.
Edit 1
As per suggestion in the answer, tried connecting with the connection string method with pyodbc library.
import pyodbc
cnxn = pyodbc.connect("DRIVER={SQL Server};"
"SERVER=server_name\\demo;"
"DATABASE=sample;"
"UID=auth_windows")
Double backslash, I'm escaping the backsalsh in the server name
Getting fairly long error message:
Error: ('28000', "[28000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'auth_windows'. (18456) (SQLDriverConnect);
[28000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'auth_windows'. (18456)")
When I tried to add IntegratedSecurity=yes, I also get:
[01S00] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid connection string attribute (0)
This is the connection string you need to use:
Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;IntegratedSecurity=yes;Uid=auth_windows;
This option is available from Connector/NET version 6.4.4, but please note that is requires the Windows Native Authentication Plugin must to be installed.
Based on Jaco's answer but pyodbc library requires slightly different string, or it will produce unrecognized attribute error:
Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Trusted_Connection=yes;Uid=auth_window;
