SAP ASE (Sybase) dialect for SQLAlchemy.
This is a fork of SQLAlchemy's internal "sybase" dialect which is soon to be deprecated and will be removed from a future release.
You will need an ODBC driver for SAP ASE installed on the machine from which
you want to connect to the SAP ASE server. This dialect is tested with
the SAP ASE ODBC driver (libsybdrvodb-sqllen8.so on Linux).
Also, if you are running on Linux and using unixODBC, check the version via
odbcinst -j from a console prompt (or use the odbcinst module).
The official repositories of several Linux distributions
contain versions of unixODBC that are quite old and somewhat buggy.
SQLAlchemy and pyodbc are specified as requirements so pip will install
them if they are not already in place. To install, just:
pip install sqlalchemy-sybase
Create an ODBC DSN (Data Source Name) that points to your SAP ASE database. Then, in your Python app, you can connect to the database via:
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
engine = create_engine("sybase+pyodbc://scott:tiger@your_dsn")
For other ways of connecting see the Getting Connected page in the Wiki.
