Demonstrating CRUD Operations in Python Using pyodbc and MSSQL
In this article, I will show you how to perform CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) in Python using pyodbc library and an MSSQL server. I will demonstrate each operation with examples.
pyodbc is a Python library that allows you to connect to a variety of databases using the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) protocol. It allows you to perform various database operations such as executing SQL statements, creating and modifying database objects, and fetching and updating data. The library provides a Pythonic API for working with databases, making it easy to interact with databases using familiar Python data structures and idioms. pyodbc also supports advanced features like connection pooling, transaction management, and asynchronous execution. It is widely used in the industry to connect to various databases such as SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL.
The code is a basic example of CRUD operations using pyodbc in Python.
Using pyodbc in practice
Remember to change the servername to your own, and then you have the database script here to create the database:
