在Python中使用sqlite3连接到本地主机上的数据库

Question

I have a database that I am running on my local machine which I can access through Microsoft SQL Server Manager Studio. I connect to this server "JIMS-LAPTOP\\SQLEXPRESS" and then I can run queries through the manager. However I need to be able to connect to this database and work with it through python. When I try to connect using sqlite3 like

conn = sqlite3.connect("JIMS-LAPTOP\SQLEXPRESS")

I get an unable to open database file error

I tried accessing the temporary file directly like this

conn = sqlite3.connect("C:\Users\Jim Notaro\AppData\Local\Temp\~vs13A7.sql")
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute("SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type = \"table\"")
print c.fetchall()

Which allows me to access a database but it is completely empty (No tables are displayed)

I also tried connecting like this

conn = sqlite3.connect("SQL SERVER (SQLEXPRESS)")

Which is what the name is in the sql server configuration manager but that also returns a blank database.

I'm not sure how I am suppose to be connecting to the database using python

You can't use sqlite3 to connect to SQL server, only to Sqlite databases. You need to use a driver that can talk to MS SQL, like pyodbc .
