What is the best way to access sql server from python is it DB-API ?
Also could someone provide a such code using the DB-API how to connect to sql server from python and excute query ?
See pyodbc - Python Database API Specification v2.0 implementation. Works great.
Additionally you can use it with other databases. If using with SQL Server 2008, make sure you use Native Driver if you need to support new DATE data types.
See pymssql It is a DB-API module for MS Sql Server and would be the most pythonic way. The documentation includes examples.
If on a Windows OS you could also use OLEDB through COM which will not require any thing else to be installed on the client.
Also if you use Iron Python you can use the .Net APIs

how to connect to sql server from python and excute query ?
This hello world snippet pretty much shows you the common way how to connect with SQL server in Python with an DBI 2.0 database interface module.

ODBC + freetds + a python wrapper library for ODBC.

I wanted to ask if there's a connector, function, or other that makes it posible to connect to Microsoft SQL Server tables in Apache beam, so as to write to Bigquery.
Thanks!
Yes! Apache Beam supports JdbcIO, so as long as a Dataflow Worker can reach the database and you use the right drivers for it, it should be simpler to achieve.
It is available to Python as apache_beam.io.jdbc and uses the expansion service, so you can get it working as long as you use Dataflow Runner v2.
If you want something even simpler, you may be able to use the JDBC to BigQuery Google-provided template, which is currently in beta/pre-GA.
I'm looking to a way to "simply" access to a Caché database using python (I need to make sql query on this database).
I've heard about a python package (Intersys) but I can't find it anymore (having this package would be the most simple way).
I've tried using pyodbc connection with the appropriate Caché driver : it works on my machine, however when I try to deploi the function in production (Linux OS), the driver's file is not found.
Thank you
There is only one way, on how to make it work with Python, is using pydobc, and InterSystems driver.
I am trying to connect Python 2.7 to SQL Server to access all the tables it is currently hosting.
I am using for my official purposes so want only legal solutions to my problem.
Tried using a few of the solutions suggested her but none of them worked and most of them were not at all descriptive as I am new to Python.
Also is it possible to import a large table from SQL directly as a temp table(in python) and then work on it instead of accessing the DB everytime.
Details:
OS- Windows 10
DB- SQL Server 2012 (SQL server management studio)
Python- Spyder(Anaconda) for Python 2.7
thanks in advance for your help.

I have a website on an Australian webhost. I have designed my website to allow people to login & their login details are stored in an SQLite3 database. I interact with the SQLite3 database using pythons SQLite3 module(found only in python2.5 & up)
My Problem: the webhost runs Python 2.4 so I cannot communicate with(query or modify) my SQLite3 database. The webhost will not allow me to install my own version of python or upload modules unless I upgrade to VPS.
What do you think are my options to still be able to work/interface with my SQL database? Do you know of way to interact with a SQL database using python modules from Python 2.4 or earlier?
Do you know of a python 2.4 module that will let me interact with an SQL database(can be MySQL, SQLite, etc.)?
There is a Python MySQL Module, called MySQLDB, which supports Python 2.3-2.7: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/
The User Guide can be found here: http://mysql-python.sourceforge.net/MySQLdb.html
Check out pysqlite. It is the same module as in the newer python versions and I have used it no prob in 2.4 before.
I am wondering what is the standard Python module for SQL queries?
I am writing queries for an Oracle database in particular. I am looking to write quick, easy, and direct queries, in the context of both scripts and small programs.
Each SQL database has their own module which implements DB-API 2.0. Oracle uses cx_Oracle.
DB-API is the standard API for accessing SQL databases from Python.
