Steps to Connect Python to SQL Server using pyodbc
Step 1: Install pyodbc
First, you’ll need to install the pyodbc package which will be used to connect Python to SQL Server.

You can use the PIP install method to install the pyodbc package:
install the pyodbc .

Step 2: Retrieve the server name
Now retrieve your server name.

In my case, the server name is: DESKTOP-HQEDNK

Step 4: Get the table name
Now you’ll need to get the name of your desired table.

The name of your table would also be located under the Object Explorer menu (underneath the Tables section).

Here, the name of the table is: dbo.Person.

Step 5: Connect Python to SQL Server
And for the final part, open your Python IDLE and fill the server name, database and table information.

code:

import pyodbc
conn = pyodbc.connect('Driver={SQL Server};'
'Server=server_name;'
'Database=database_name;'
'Trusted_Connection=yes;')

cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM database_name.table')

for row in cursor:
print(row)
