  • ODBC setup for KDB+ to query other databases

    Posted by darrenwsun on March 15, 2023 at 12:00 am

    Hi community,

    There used to be this link that provides the instructions for the setup, but it’s no longer valid and I cannot find out the updated link anywhere. Note that it’s for the reverse direction of querying KDB+ via ODBC where the setup is easily found.

    Thanks for the help.

    ODBC:

    JDBC:

     

    EmbedPy is also an option which has a lot of flexibility.

    Some example of Pandas/PyODBC/SQLAlchemy usage below

     

    // https://github.com/KxSystems/embedPy 
    system"\l p.q"; 
    // https://github.com/KxSystems/ml 
    system"\l ml/ml.q"; 
    .ml.loadfile`:init.q; 
    odbc:.p.import[`pyodbc]; 
    pd:.p.import[`pandas]; 
    connectString:";" 
    sv {string[x],"=",y}(.)/:( (`Driver;"{ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server}"); (`Server;"server.domain.com\DB01"); (`Database;"Data"); (`UID;"KX"); (`PWD;"password") ); 
    connSqlServer:odbc[`:connect][connectString]; 
    data:.ml.df2tab pd[`:read_sql]["SELECT * FROM tableName";connSqlServer]; 
    cursor:connSqlServer[`:cursor][]; 
    cursor[`:execute]["TRUNCATE FROM tableName"]; 
    connSqlServer[`:commit][]; 
    sa:.p.import`sqlalchemy; 
    engine:sa[`:create_engine]["mssql+pyodbc://KX:password@server.domain.com\DB01/Data?driver=ODBC+Driver+17+for+SQL+Server"]; 
    df:.ml.tab2df[data]; //Data to publish 
    df[`:to_sql]["tableName";engine; `if_exists pykw `append;`index pykw 0b];
