I would like to use Django 2.0 with legacy MS SQL Server database.
Latest information regarding usage Django with MS SQL Server i could find is Using Sql Server with Django in production/These days and it is about Django 1.11
Most supported seems django-pyodbc-azure but it's not supporting Django 2.0 yet:
django-pyodbc-azure issue #124
Is there any alternative?
Found the solution and post it if anyone facing same problem.
I used django-pyodbc-azure 2.0.4.1 in my Django 2.0.4
The settings that worked for me:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'sql_server.pyodbc',
'NAME': 'dbName',
'USER': 'yourUserName',
'PASSWORD': 'yourPassword',
'HOST': '(local)',
'PORT': '',
'OPTIONS': {
'driver': 'ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server',
},
}
}
I was facing same error of ODBC Driver Manager
django.db.utils.InterfaceError: ('IM002', '[IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manag
er] Data source name not found and no default driver specified (0) (SQLDriverCon
nect)')
Solution: When i added below code in database connection, then my error fixed.
'OPTIONS': {
'host_is_server': True,
'driver': 'ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server',
}
