Not able to connect to SQL Server 2012 from current version of DJango and Python

Question

I am trying to connect to SQL server 2012 using Pyodbc and Django framework.

But the version of Django is 2.1

Answer 1

As of today, django-pyodbc-azure supports Django 2.1. Below is my configuration.

And here is the code that I used to configure the connection.

DATABASES = {
'default': {
    'ENGINE': "sql_server.pyodbc",
    'HOST': "server_name",
    'USER': "username",
    'PASSWORD': "password",
    'NAME': "database_name",
    'OPTIONS' : {
        'driver': 'ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server',
    },
  }
}

Note: Don't use the IP address of the server as the HOST, instead use the computer name.
