Database engine fails to connect to a sql-server instance while trying to insert using to_sql function

Question

I am trying to insert pandas dataframe CAPE into SQL Server DB using dataframe.to_SQL. I have referred the following solution to insert rows. PyOdbc fails to connect to a sql server instance

But I am getting an error shown below.

Source code:

   CAPE    # Input dataframe
   connection = pdc.connect('Driver={SQL Server};''Server=GIRSQL.GIRCAPITAL.com;''Database=Tableau;''uid=SQL_User;pwd=Greentableau!')
   connection_string = urllib.parse.quote_plus(connection)
   connection_string = "mssql+pyodbc:///?odbc_connect=%s" % connection_string
   engine = sq.create_engine(connection_string)
   CAPE.to_sql(engine, name='[Tableau].[dbo].[Company_Table]',if_exists='replace')

This is the error I am getting:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\Abhay\Python36-32\lib\urllib\parse.py", line 803, in quote_plus

The first positional parameter of DataFrame.to_sql() is a table name, you passed engine (SQLAlchemy object) as a first parameter.

So try this instead:

CAPE.to_sql('[Tableau].[dbo].[Company_Table]',con=engine, if_exists='replace')

I am getting error in 'urllib.parse.quote_plus()' line, before calling to_sql. Is there any better way to insert data frame into Sql-server Db

Arvinth Kumar Over a year ago

I have changed my code to following

params = urllib.parse.quote_plus("DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=GIRSQL.GIRCAPITAL.com;DATABASE=Tableau;UID=SQL_User;PWD=Greentableau!") engine = sqlalchemy.create_engine("mssql+pyodbc:///?odbc_connect=%s" % params) engine.connect() df.to_sql(name='[Tableau].[dbo].[Test table]',con=engine, index=False, if_exists='append')

Now it works fine
