Below is the syntax for a DSN:
[CData SageBCAccounting Source]
Driver = CData ODBC Driver for Sage Cloud Accounting
Description = My Description
Execute SQL to Sage Cloud Accounting
Instantiate a Cursor and use the execute method of the Cursor class to execute any SQL statement.
import pyodbc
cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={CData ODBC Driver for SageBCAccounting};')
cursor = cnxn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT contact_name, total_amount FROM SalesInvoices WHERE sent = 'TRUE'")
rows = cursor.fetchall()
for row in rows:
print(row.contact_name, row.total_amount)
