  • Cross-platform compatibility: pyodbc runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, so you can use it in a variety of environments.
  • Large number of supported databases: pyodbc supports a wide range of databases through ODBC, so you can use it to connect to many different types of databases.
  • Robust error handling: pyodbc provides robust error handling, so you can detect and handle errors in your database interactions.

pyodbc is a popular, well-maintained library and is widely used by Python developers who need to interact with databases. If you need to access a database from within your Python scripts, pyodbc is a great option to consider.
