  • Άρθρο

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance

This article describes how to insert SQL data into a pandas dataframe using the pyodbc package in Python. The rows and columns of data contained within the dataframe can be used for further data exploration.

Prerequisites

Verify restored database

You can verify that the restored database exists by querying the Person.CountryRegion table:

USE AdventureWorks;
SELECT * FROM Person.CountryRegion;

Install Python packages

Download and Install Azure Data Studio.

Install the following Python packages:

  • pyodbc
  • pandas

To install these packages:

  1. In your Azure Data Studio notebook, select Manage Packages.
  2. In the Manage Packages pane, select the Add new tab.
  3. For each of the following packages, enter the package name, click Search, then click Install.

Insert data

Use the following script to select data from Person.CountryRegion table and insert into a dataframe. Edit the connection string variables: 'server', 'database', 'username', and 'password' to connect to SQL.

To create a new notebook:

  1. In Azure Data Studio, select File, select New Notebook.
  2. In the notebook, select kernel Python3, select the +code.
  3. Paste code in notebook, select Run All.
import pyodbc
import pandas as pd
# Some other example server values are
# server = 'localhost\sqlexpress' # for a named instance
# server = 'myserver,port' # to specify an alternate port
server = 'servername' 
database = 'AdventureWorks' 
username = 'yourusername' 
password = 'databasename'  
cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER='+server+';DATABASE='+database+';UID='+username+';PWD='+ password)
cursor = cnxn.cursor()
# select 26 rows from SQL table to insert in dataframe.
query = "SELECT [CountryRegionCode], [Name] FROM Person.CountryRegion;"
df = pd.read_sql(query, cnxn)
print(df.head(26))

Output

The print command in the preceding script displays the rows of data from the pandas dataframe df.
