Set the following connection properties to connect to Tally Instance:

  • Url: Set this to the URL for your Tally instance. For example: http://localhost:9000.

Below is the syntax for a DSN:

[CData Tally Source] Driver = CData ODBC Driver for Tally Description = My Description Url = 'http://localhost:9000'

Execute SQL to Tally

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 Tally};Url = 'http://localhost:9000'') cursor = cnxn.cursor() cursor.execute("SELECT Name, Address FROM Company WHERE CompanyNumber = '1000'") rows = cursor.fetchall() for row in rows: print(row.Name, row.Address)
