sqlalchemy-sybase
SAP ASE (Sybase) dialect for SQLAlchemy.
The latest version of this dialect requires SQLAlchemy 2.0 or later. To work with earlier versions of SQLAlchemy, do:
pip install sqlalchemy-sybase<2.0.0
Overview
This is a fork of SQLAlchemy's internal "sybase" dialect which was deprecated in SQLAlchemy 1.4 and was removed from SQLAlchemy 2.0.
Database Version Support
This dialect is tested against SAP ASE version 16. Some features may not work on earlier versions of SAP ASE.
Pre-requisites
You will need an ODBC driver for SAP ASE installed on the machine from which
you want to connect to the SAP ASE server. This dialect is tested with
the SAP ASE ODBC driver (libsybdrvodb-sqllen8.so on Linux).
Also, if you are running on Linux and using unixODBC, check the version via
odbcinst -j from a console prompt (or use the odbcinst module).
The official repositories of several Linux distributions
contain versions of unixODBC that are quite old and somewhat buggy.
Installing
SQLAlchemy and pyodbc are specified as requirements so pip will install
them if they are not already in place. To install, just:
pip install sqlalchemy-sybase
Getting Started
Create an ODBC DSN (Data Source Name) that points to your SAP ASE 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.
