Steps to connect to Shippo database in Python
with pyodbc module

01.Import the pyodbc module and create a connection to the database.

import pyodbc 
cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={Devart ODBC Driver for SQLite};Direct=True;Database=mydatabase')

02.Execute an INSERT statement to test the connection to the database.

cursor = cnxn.cursor()  
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO EMP (EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR) VALUES (535, 'Scott', 'Manager', 545)")

03.Retrieve a result set from a query, iterate over it and print out all records.

cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM EMP")
row = cursor.fetchone() 
while row: 
    print (row)
    row = cursor.fetchone()

Advantages of Connectivity to Shippo from Python via ODBC Driver

Secure Connection

Every operation with Shippo becomes significantly faster using such capabilities of our driver as local data caching, connection pooling, and much more.

Working with Python using Multiple Functions

Using Python, you can create tables, add data, select, delete, sort, edit, combine data from several database tables, and find unique values quickly and easily.

ODBC Conformance

The driver fully supports the ODBC interface, its data types, and functions. It offers advanced connection string parameters and allows any ODBC-compliant desktop or web application to connect to Shippo from Python on various platforms.

Simple SQL Querying on Python Files

Python processes SQL through its SQL dialect. Using ODBC connection, it is simple to execute different SQL queries to retrieve entire tables or specific columns from Excel, filter data, format data, numbers, etc.

Cost-Effective Deployment

Installing the driver is easy with the standalone installation file. There is no need in deploying and configuring any additional software which results in a reduction in deployment costs.

Sharing Your Data with Python

You can share your data with other users in Python quickly and easily. Upload your Python data to the SharePoint lists so that it can be available for you and others to use to create reports, data models, dashboards, etc.
