Django MSSQL Database Backend

https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/hj5o8fhpllcfypte/branch/master?svg=true

A minimal wrapper for django-mssql to make it work with python-tds.

In addition to django-mssql features this package also supports:

  • select_for_update
  • multiple NULLs in unique constraints

Supported MSSQL versions:

  • 2012
  • 2014
  • 2016

Requirements

  • django-mssql, version 1.6.x
  • Python 2.7 or 3.6

Installation

pip install git+https://bitbucket.org/Manfre/django-mssql.git#egg=django-mssql
pip install git+https://github.com/denisenkom/django-sqlserver.git#egg=django-sqlserver

Configuration

You would need to add database configuration, here is example:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'sqlserver',
        'HOST': 'mysqlserverhost\\instance',  # Replace with host name where you have MSSQL server running
        'NAME': 'mydbname',  # Replace with name of the database on the MSSQL server
        'USER': 'username',  # Replace with user name
        'PASSWORD': '*****',  # Replace with password
    },

You can also specify additional OPTIONS attribute as described in http://django-mssql.readthedocs.io/en/latest/settings.html#options

Status

Works on python-tds, ADO not tested yet, but should work too. Django 1.7 migration tests are not fully passing yet.

Known Issues

  • Doesn't work with old DATETIME columns. To use this package you should change all DATETIME columns to DATETIME2(6).

Testing

This project integrates with Django's own test suite.

You need to install Python 2.7 or newer.

You need to install virtualenv.

To run tests you need to install Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or newer.

In SQL server create user sa with password sa, alternatively you can use different user but in this case you should set SQLUSER and SQLPASSWORD environment variables.

You should enable TCP/IP connections for SQL server.

If you use SQL server instance name provide it in SQLINSTANCE environment variable.

If your SQL server runs on host different from localhost you need to provide name of the host in HOST environment variable.

To run test run:

python acceptance_test.py
