Ready to build your next data-driven application on Azure? Here are some resources to help you get started:
# Example: Connecting to Azure SQL Database using Python
import pyodbc
server = 'your_server.database.windows.net'
database = 'your_database'
username = 'your_username'
password = 'your_password'
driver = '{ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server}'
cnxn = pyodbc.connect(f'DRIVER={driver};SERVER={server};DATABASE={database};UID={username};PWD={password}')
cursor = cnxn.cursor()
# Example query
cursor.execute("SELECT @@VERSION;")
row = cursor.fetchone()
print(row)
