Establish connection to SQL Server

Establish connection to SQL Server

First we need to connect to the SQL Server – pyodbc.connect(). This method expects a string containing the server access information, such as servername, driver, port, ssl certificate, database name, username and password.

connection = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=' + server +
                          ';DATABASE=' + database + ';UID=' + username + ';PWD=' + password)
