[QGIS-Developer] Python connection to Microsoft SQL Server database

[Paul Wittle]

Hi,

I’m trying to get some data from an MS SQL Server database using the QSqlDatabase QODBC driver.

I’m struggling to find an example online…I know Microsoft SQL is avoided in most cases but does anyone know the format for the connection string to put under setDatabaseName?

Ideally I want to connect using the users windows credentials so I’m hoping I don’t need to send it a username and password but just the host\instance, port and database name.

Thanks in advance 😊

Paul
