Supports multiple database types such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.

My /etc/odbc.ini file contains ĭescription = 'The Location of the EOAM_RA Database'īut when I try any version of isql -v my_server username password, I get the dreaded and incredibly unhelpful Unable to connect to data source My /etc/odbcinst.ini file contains: ĭescription=FreeTDS Driver for Linux & MSSQL

For the ODBC side, first note that FreeTDS is apparently already set up for ODBC, as it says unixodbc: yes in the results of tsql -C. The command tsql -S my_server -U domain\username -P password, with no quotes anywhere, connects just fine, with the result locale is 'en_US.UTF-8' The my_server is the server to which I'm trying to connect. # openssl ciphers = HIGH:!SSLv2:!aNULL:-DH # try adjusting the cipher list (don't surround in double or single quotes) # If you experience TLS handshake errors and are using openssl, # IMAGE) try setting 'text size' to a reasonable limit # To reduce data sent from server for BLOBs (like TEXT or

Or, 'Should I include the domain in the username?' And if I should include the domain the username, 'Should I escape the backslash character?'

Before getting into the Python, I just want to trouble-shoot the connection. I'm trying to connect to a MS SQL Server database from my Mac (Mohave), and ultimately a Xubuntu 16.04 virtual machine as well, using pyodbc. Details: I have tried every official installation guide and Stack Overflow question I can find, but none of them produce joy.
