pyodbc is an open-source Python module that provides access to ODBC databases, implementing the DB API 2.0 specification with additional Pythonic conveniences. It ships precompiled binary wheels for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with C++ extensions built from source on other platforms.
Use cases
- connect to sql server from python
- query odbc databases in python
- read data from microsoft access or excel via odbc
- run stored procedures from python
- bulk insert rows with fast_executemany
- connect python to postgresql or mysql through odbc
When to choose
- you need to connect Python to a database via an ODBC driver, especially SQL Server
- you want a DB API 2.0-compliant driver with extra conveniences like fast_executemany and TVP support
- you need cross-platform prebuilt wheels
When to avoid
- you only need a database with a native pure-Python or dedicated driver (e.g., psycopg2 for PostgreSQL)
- you cannot install an ODBC driver manager on your system
- you need async database access
