SQL Server 2022 : Use with Python2023/11/30

	This is an example to use SQL Server with Python.
[1]	This is based on the environment Python 3 has been installed. Additionally, Install Python DB API for ODBC.

[root@dlp ~]#

dnf -y install python3-pyodbc

[2]	Create a sample User and Database for Test.

[root@dlp ~]#

sqlcmd -S localhost -U SA

Password:

# create login user
1> create login centos with PASSWORD= N'P@ssw0rd01';
2> go

# create [SampleDB3]
1> create database SampleDB3;
2> go

1> use SampleDB3;
2> go
Changed database context to 'SampleDB'.

# create DB user
1> create user centos for login centos;
2> go

# assign DB owner role to [centos]
1> exec sp_addrolemember 'db_owner', 'centos';
2> go

# create [SampleTable]
1> create table SampleTable (
2> ID int identity(1,1) not null primary key, First_Name NVARCHAR(50), Last_Name NVARCHAR(50) );
3> insert into SampleTable (
4> First_Name, Last_Name) values (N'CentOS', N'Linux'), (N'Debian', N'Linux'), (N'RedHat', N'Linux' );
5> go

[3]	This is a basic usage example of SQL Server on Python. It uses database and connection user that were created above.
