Using the CData ODBC Driver for MariaDB in PyCharm


Connect to MariaDB as an ODBC data source in PyCharm using the CData ODBC Driver for MariaDB.

The CData ODBC Drivers can be used in any environment that supports loading an ODBC Driver. In this tutorial we will explore using the CData ODBC Driver for MariaDB from within PyCharm. Included are steps for adding the CData ODBC Driver as a data source, as well as basic PyCharm code to query the data source and display results.

To begin, this tutorial will assume that you have already installed the CData ODBC Driver for MariaDB as well as PyCharm.

Add Pyodbc to the Project

Follow the steps below to add the pyodbc module to your project.

  1. Click File -> Settings to open the project settings window.
  2. Click Project Interpreter from the Project: YourProjectName menu.
  3. To add pyodbc, click the + button and enter pyodbc.
  4. Click Install Package to install pyodbc.

Connect to MariaDB

You can now connect with an ODBC connection string or a DSN. See the Getting Started section in the CData driver documentation for a guide to creating a DSN on your OS.

The Server and Port properties must be set to a MariaDB server. If IntegratedSecurity is set to false, then User and Password must be set to valid user credentials. Optionally, Database can be set to connect to a specific database. If not set, the tables from all databases are reported.

Below is the syntax for a DSN:

[CData MariaDB Source] Driver = CData ODBC Driver for MariaDB Description = My Description User = myUser Password = myPassword Database = NorthWind Server = myServer Port = 3306

Execute SQL to MariaDB

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 MariaDB};User = myUser;Password = myPassword;Database = NorthWind;Server = myServer;Port = 3306;') cursor = cnxn.cursor() cursor.execute("SELECT ShipName, ShipCity FROM Orders WHERE ShipCountry = 'USA'") rows = cursor.fetchall() for row in rows: print(row.ShipName, row.ShipCity)

After connecting to MariaDB in PyCharm using the CData ODBC Driver, you will be able to build Python apps with access to MariaDB data as if it were a standard database. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback regarding this tutorial, please contact us at support@cdata.com.
