pymssql - DB-API interface to Microsoft SQL Server

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.

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

Generally, you will want to install pymssql with:

pip install pymssql

Most of the times this should be all what's needed.

Note

The official pymssql wheel packages for Linux, Mac OS and Windows bundle a static copy of FreeTDS so no additional dependency download or compilation steps are necessary and have SSL support so they can be used to connect to Azure.
