Querying MSSQL server 2012 from a Raspberry Pi 3 u

问题:

I am trying to query MSSQL server 2012 using Python as my scripting language on a raspberry Pi3.

I have the need to create an application that will query MSSQL server and return some values that need to be displayed on a H.M.I. I chose the Raspberry Pi platform to develop this solution using Python as the programming language. I created the script using PyCharm on a Windows 7 PC and all worked well. When I moved it to the Raspberry Platform it didn't work.

I am using pyODBC to do the connecting and querying and FreeTDS as the driver. I used the following procedure to set this up:

 sudo apt-get install freetds-dev freetds-bin unixodbc-dev tdsodbc
 pip3 install pyODBC

Configured the /etc/freetds.conf file as follows

 [NAME]
 host = ipAddress
 port = 1433
 tds version = 7.4
 instance = dbInstanceName

I then went to the command line and tested the connection with: tsql -S NAME -U username. The command line then prompts with Password: so I typed the password in and I got the following:

 locale is "enGB.UTF-8"
 locale charset is "UTF-8"
 using default charset "UTF-8"
 1>

As there are no errors present I can only assume that this has worked?

I then set up the /etc/odbcinst.ini file as follows:

 [FreeTDS]
 Driver = /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/odbc/libtdsodbc.so

I then setup the /etc/odbc.ini file as follows:

 [NAME1]
 Driver = /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/odbc/libtdsodbc.so
 Description = MSSQL Server
 Trace = No
 Server = ipAddress
 Database = dbName
 Port = 1433
 TDS_Version = 7.4

I then tested this with the isql function in the command line: isql NAME1 user password and I got the following prompt:

+-------------------------------------------------+
| Connected!
|
| sql-statement
| help [tablename] 
| quit
|
+-------------------------------------------------+

SQL> 

so I typed in select getDate() and the date and time returned.

However within Python I still can't get a connection, I typed the following into the interpreter:

import pyodbc

conn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER=FreeTDS;SERVER=NAME;DATABASE=dbName;UID=user;PWD=password')

Then when I type this cu = conn.cursor() I get an error:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute cursor

Tested on Raspberry pi2 & Python 3 with Raspbian & MS Sql server 2008

Make sure your APT-Get library & Python Version is up to date ”

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Sudo apt-get install python3

Run following commands to install requirements

sudo apt-get install unixodbc
sudo apt-get install unixodbc-dev
sudo apt-get install freetds-dev
sudo apt-get install tdsodbc
sudo apt-get install freetds-bin 

In terminal, now run :(use 'pip3' because pyodbc wouldn’t install for pip (python 2) due to some errors)

sudo pip3 install pyodbc
sudo apt-get install python-pyodbc

Change freeTDS.conf like this

sudo nano /etc/freetds/freetds.conf

Add a block like this :

[sqlserver]
      host = 182.172.2.2    # Remote Sql Server's IP addr
      port = 1433           # this is default
      tds version = 7.0     # this is by the time i post this
      instance = Test1      # your Database name 

Then set up the /etc/odbcinst.ini file as follows:

[FreeTDS]
Description = FreeTDS unixODBC Driver
Driver = /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/odbc/libtdsodbc.so
Setup = /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/odbc/libtdsodbc.so
UsageCount = 1

Then setup the /etc/odbc.ini file as follows:

[NAME1]
Driver = /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/odbc/libtdsodbc.so
Description = MSSQL Server
Trace = No
Server = Server2      # IP or host name of the Sql Server
Database = Test1      # DataBase Name
Port = 1433           # This is default
TDS_Version = 7.4

Now test the connection with this commands (with second one you should get command line access to Sql server

tsql -S sqlserver -U username
isql NAME1 user 'password'

And finally the code part :

import pyodbc
conn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER{freetds};Server=Server2;PORT=1433;DATABASE=Test1;UID=user;PWD=pass;TDS_Version=7.2;')
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("Select * from Table1")
for row in cursor.fetchall():
    print (row)

Finally if nothing worked try this :

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdsodbc

回答2:

Ill try to connect a RPi 3 to my DB in SQL Server, to capture GPIO status/value.

I already using a web server called Webiopi, and python is used to execute macros, and define GPIO function/Value.

It can be possible?

If(possible == yes)
  {
     happiness = happiness + 10;
     return view(success)
  }
else
  {
     happines = 0;
     return view(keep_searching);
  }

TY

The problem is with your connection string. Here's a full connection string example for FreeTDS:

conn = pyodbc.connect(
    'DRIVER={FreeTDS};SERVER=yourfqdn.com;PORT=1433;DATABASE=your_db;UID=your_username;PWD=your_pw;TDS_Version=7.4;'
)

Try putting {FreeTDS} in braces and adding the TDS_Version explicitly. I also choose to use the FQDN in my Python connection strings and set username / password as environment variables to keep configuration in one less place.
