I am having issue with unixODBC. I need multiple connections to different Sql server instances and all of them are working except one. It has additional parameter in host.
All host are ip or just host name, but one which is ont working has IP\smth
I have tried:
Description=Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server
Driver=/opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/lib64/libmsodbcsql-13.0.so.0.0
Database=dbname
Server=192.168.1.1/PARAM
Port=1433
Also tried escaping, quotes, etc.
isql -v returns:
[S1T00][unixODBC][Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server]Login timeout expired
[08001][unixODBC][Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server]MAX_PROVS: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified [xFFFFFFFF].
[08001][unixODBC][Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server]A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online.
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
I could connect from MAC OSX (Sierra) via unixODBC to SQL Server 2017 (installed in a docker container using this image: https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/mssql-server-linux/) by following these steps:
Install the ODBC driver as described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server
Find out in which odbc.ini config file the system DSNs are stored and where to find the ODBC driver name:
odbcinst -j
...
DRIVERS............: /usr/local/etc/odbcinst.ini
SYSTEM DATA SOURCES: /usr/local/etc/odbc.ini
...
Remember the exact driver name from the odbcinst.ini file (preconfigured from the driver installation from step 1):
...
[ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server]
...
Edit the odbc.ini file and add a DSN to your database (all allowed keywords are described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/connection-string-keywords-and-data-source-names-dsns):
...
[MSSQLTest]
Driver = ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server
Server = 192.168.178.1,1433
...
Note: Use your server IP address (or server name) and port number here.
Test the connection (it should work now):
isql MSSQLTest sa Password12345 -v
Note: Replace the user name "sa" and the password "Password12345" with your own credentials!
You should see then:
Connected!
Enjoy your hot caffeinated beverage ;-)

I am trying to connect to MS SQL Server using pyodbc from a remote machine running Ubuntu 16.04.
import pyodbc
conn = pyodbc.connect(r'DRIVER=ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server; SERVER=xxxTest-SRV; PORT=51333; DATABASE=TestDB; UID=xxxx; PWD=xxxx;')
I'm getting following error:
pyodbc.OperationalError: ('HYT00', '[HYT00] [unixODBC][Microsoft][ODBC
Driver 17 for SQL Server]Login timeout expired (0)
(SQLDriverConnect)')
I tried using the server IP in the connection string but still no luck.
However, I am able to connect to using sqlcmd from the terminal
Following works:
sqlcmd -S xxxTest-SRV, 51333 -d TestDB -U xxxx -P xxxx
I didn't find any issue that gave an answer to my problem.
odbcinst.ini
[ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]
Description=Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server

There's always seems to be an issue connecting to MS SQL Server using pyodbc from a linux machine. Is there a way to connect to SQL Server from Python. I'll appreciate your help in solving this error. Thank you.
[UPDATE]
As per the below answer, I updated the connection string. But, now I get following error:
pyodbc.Error: ('01000', "[01000] [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open
lib '/opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/lib64/libmsodbcsql-17.0.so.1.1' : file
not found (0) (SQLDriverConnect)")
My odbcinst.ini file driver definition:

It has always been a nightmare to connect to MS SQL Server from a Linux machine. Can you please tell which pyodbc, unixODBC and Driver version is the most stable?
I have installed the driver following this Microsoft instructions. My pyodbc version is 4.0.23
Microsoft's ODBC drivers for SQL Server do not use a PORT= parameter. The port number, if any, is appended to the server name/IP with a comma, e.g.,
SERVER=xxxTest-SRV,51333;
I ran into the same kind of issue, but my scenario is connecting to SQL server hosted on ec2 instance through AWS Lambda function using PyOdbc module. For me, replacing the host name with IP address of ec2 instance fixed it.
I found out that it was not able to resolve dns. So if any of the above steps didn't work for you, please try using the ip address and comment here
I ran into same problem when working with SQL Server docker container inside VS Code development container. Finding the IP of SQL Server container (credits for that goes to freecodecamp.org How to get docker container IP address) and replacing server name with IP solved the problem
conn = pyodbc.connect(
"DRIVER={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};" + "SERVER=172.xx.x.x;"
"DATABASE=xxx;"
"UID=sa;"
"PWD=xxx;")
What solved in my case was to configure in the "SQL Configuration Manager" --> SQL Server Network Configuration --> Protocols for XYX --> TCP/IP --> Properties --> IP Addresses --> IPAII (Here set empty in TCP Dynamic Ports and 1433 (or the port that you want to use) at TCP Port)
You can have more details here
Microsoft's ODBC drivers for Linux cannot resolve instance names, so this won't work from a Linux client:
Server = mydbserver.mycompany.com\SQLEXPRESS
If you need to connect to a named instance you can use the (free) sqlserverport (https://github.com/gordthompson/sqlserverport) module.
import pyodbc
import sqlserverport
servername = 'myserver'
serverspec = '{0},{1}'.format(
servername,
sqlserverport.lookup(servername, 'SQLEXPRESS'))
conn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER=ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server;SERVER={};...'.format(serverspec))
I created a user call root and the password is test in MSSQL
but the error occur after I run the command
sqlcmd -S laptop-3l55biaa\test\MSSQLSERVER01 -U root -P test
not working either in SSMS
error info

I'm not sure if the server/instance name is valid. From the docs, the argument for the -S option has the format [protocol:]server[\instance_name][,port], so I'm not sure what the test part is in your URL. From experience (if I remember correctly), the URL should be something like machineName\MSSQLSERVER01, or if on local host just .\MSSQLSERVER01.
Update
Regarding .\instancename - it looks like that is some additional functionality that SSMS has (and probably ADS) for connecting to instances on the same machine as the client. Sqlcmd doesn't seem to support it (my bad), and instead of the . you have to type localhost.
To sum up, in order to connect to a local instance listening on the default 1433 port you can just use -S localhost or (in case the port is not default or you want to use the name) -S localhost\instanceName.
I'm new to WSL, and running Ubuntu. I have a local instance of SQL Server 2017 installed in Windows, and want to connect to it from WSL. I have remote connections enabled, however, I can't seem to get connected from ubuntu locally.
I installed the db tools for ubuntu, and I'm using sqlcmd:
sqlcmd -S localhost -U sa -P <my password>
This keeps failing. How do I format/configure this to allow SQL Server in Windows to be available to Ubuntu?
Thanks!
EDIT
I'm using the default instance of SQL Server
Here's the error I'm getting
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server : Login timeout expired.

The solution provided by TheTFo for me did not fully work. I had to take it a step further by ensuring that the appropriate IP Address was enabled as well. Refer to Step 6 of this resource for instructions on how to do so.
I have a Microsoft SQL Server, running in a Window Server 2012 R2 Standard. The configuration for this SQL Instance is: Servername: IP\SQLEXPRESS( IP here is the IP address of the Window Server) with SQL authentication username and password.
I would like to connect to this remote database from my local machine, so I installed sqlcmd on my local machine Win 7, and tried the syntax to connect to this remote server: sqlcmd -S IP\SQLEXPRESS -U username -P password, but then I got some error messages:
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server : SQL Server

I searched some solutions in the Internet and did some configurations for the SQL Server, such as: enabled remote connection in SQL Server, activate TCP/IP Protocol, open incoming TCP Port 1433 by defining new rule in Windows Firewall of remote server, open outgoing TCP Port 1433 in my local Win 7 machine. But it seems there changes are not work in my case. Can anyone give me some hints here to fix this remote connecting problem?
Thank you in advance!
try use only sqlcmd -S IP
not IP\SQLEXPRESS
I can connect ms sql server on windows desktop using ODBC and I got into the issue when using Linux. ODBC drivers are already installed just that I couldn't connect. I search on the internet and most posts are saying it's windows authentication issue. I set the Trusted_Connection=No and enter UID/PWD in isql -v MSSQL [UID] [PWD].
It gives me the error saying:
