Message-ID: <CAMNf0djv1So5x=g-S3h83L5-FbMASFtb4bNqk+B_M2i-O7pigw@mail.gmail.com>

hi,

i am trying to connect sql server 2005 via db api 2.0 in last 3 days but i
couldn't handle it. i can connect to the database remotely by navicat
without any problem. i would be really very happy if anyone knows where do
i make the mistake.

>>> import adodbapi
>>> cs = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=sql2002.shared-servers.com,1086;Initial
Catalog=ableton;User ID=ableton;Password=miklagard1;"
>>> conn = adodbapi.connect(cs)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "adodbapi.py", line 298, in connect
    raise InterfaceError #Probably COM Error
adodbapi.InterfaceError

thank you all,
cem

Using Python 3.2.2 and pywin32-217 on Windows 7 (all 64 bit), I get this
result (filtering out the crud):
  pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, 'Microsoft
OLE Provider for SQL Server', "Login failed for user 'ableton'.", None, 0,
-21472843), None)

Which would mean that the server is working and does not recognize your
password, which, I hope, is to be expected. I see nothing wrong with your
code.

What versions of everything are you using?

Still messing with .dbf files?

Somebody brought you a 15 year old floppy, which still luckily (?)
worked, and now wants that ancient data?

dbf to the rescue!

Supported tables/features
=========================
   - dBase III
   - FoxPro
   - Visual FoxPro supported
   - Null value

Supported field types
=====================
   - Char
   - Date
   - Logical
   - Memo
   - Numeric
   - Currency (returns Decimal)
   - DateTime
   - Double
   - Float (same as Numeric)
   - General
   - Integer
   - Picture

Still to come (or, Not Yet Working ;)
=====================================

  - Index files (although you can create temporary
    memory indices)
  - auto incrementing fields

Latest version can be found on PyPI at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/dbf.

Comments, bug reports, etc, appreciated!

Subject: [DB-SIG] How can I detect 64 bit versions of Python?
Message-ID: <CAH-ZgAe=F94XycoFUxthkJ9RfRNcRDprwFNa4SnUYZ-upqqLdw@mail.gmail.com>

This is a reworded re-post of a question which I just placed to the
IronPython list.  I repeat it here, because I hope to get a general answer
which will work on CPython, too, since the database driver I support works
on both implementations.  [Note: this applies to Windows only, *nix users
can stop reading now. (Lucky dogs.)]

I am testing adodbapi using my new laptop which I have set up as an
everything in 64-bit test bed.

My default test database is an .mdb (so-called ACCESS database) file.
Microsoft has decided that the JET engine, which has historically been used
to read and write that format is to be deprecated, so there is no 64 bit
version of it.  It is replaced by the Access Database Engine 2010
redistributable.<http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=13255>Of
course, the new software requires a different connection string, one
containing "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;".

So, how can I tell which "width" of Python I am running, so I know which
connection string to use?

I use sys.maxint, which is 2^63-1 on 64 bit and 2^31-1 on 32 bit. It's
not available on py3, but sys.maxsize is available on both, and it's
probably equivalent.

The safest bet is to have a look at sys.maxsize. If it's > 2**31,
you have a 64-bit Python version, otherwise a 32-bit one.

sys.maxsize is only available in Python 2.6 and later. If you
support older versions, using the struct module can help: check
the size of a pointer to find out which bit size the Python
interpreter is using.

Better use sys.maxsize :-)

sys.maxint is 2**31-1 on Windows x64, since MS chose not to change the
size of longs on Win64.
