sqlalchemy-sybase 1.0.0b2

SAP ASE (Sybase) for SQLAlchemy

sqlalchemy-sybase

SAP ASE (Sybase) support for SQLAlchemy.

Objectives

This is a fork of SQLAlchemy’s internal “sybase” dialect which is soon to be deprecated and will be removed from a future release.

Status

This dialect currently depends on SQLAlchemy features that have not been officially released. For now you must first install SQLAlchemy from source before installing this dialect.

For SQLAlchemy 1.3 …:

pip install git+https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy@rel_1_3

… or for (pre-release) SQLAlchemy 1.4 …:

pip install git+https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy.git

Pre-requisites

You will need an ODBC driver for Sybase installed on the machine from which you want to connect to the Sybase server. This dialect is tested with a current version of the FreeTDS ODBC driver.

Co-requisites

This dialect requires SQLAlchemy and pyodbc. They are both specified as requirements so pip will install them if they are not already in place. To install, just:

pip install sqlalchemy-sybase --pre

Getting Started

Create an ODBC DSN (Data Source Name) that points to your Sybase database. Then, in your Python app, you can connect to the database via:

from sqlalchemy import create_engine
engine = create_engine("sybase+pyodbc://scott:tiger@your_dsn")

For other ways of connecting see the Getting Connected page in the Wiki.
