Python Connector for SQL Server Features

• Direct Connection - The solution enables you to establish a direct connection to a SQL Server instance through TCP/IP, eliminating the need for the database client libraries. A direct connection increases the speed of data transmission between a Python application and SQL Server.
• High Performance - The connector supports a direct connection to SQL Server through TCP/IP without the database client library. It also lets you submit multiple update statements to the database for processing as a batch to improve execution time.
• Fast Deployment - If your Python application must be deployed on multiple user workstations, you don't have to supply the database client library for every user since this connector supports a direct connection.
• Secure Communication - The connector supports encrypted communication between a SQL Server database and Python application using SSL/TLS, SSH tunneling, and HTTP/HTTPS tunneling.
• Platform Support - The Python connector is available for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit, macOS 64-bit, and Linux 64-bit.
• Unicode-Compliant Connector - The Unicode-compliant connector lets you retrieve and update multilingual data, regardless of its character encoding (Chinese, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and more) in any language environment.
• Data Types Support - The connector supports all SQL Server and Python data types. It offers additional options to control data type mapping between the SQL Server data types and Python data types.
