使用 Pyodbc 将 SQL 连接到 Google Colab 时出错

Question

I'm attempting to connect SQL to Colab notebook using the exact code that works perfectly when I run it in Spyder, but throws an error in Colab!

conn = pyodbc.connect(
    "Driver={SQL Server Native Client 17.0};"
    "Server=servername;"
    "Database=dbname;"
    "Trusted_Connection=yes;"
)

Error: ('01000', "[01000] [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib 'SQL Server Native Client 17.0' : file not found (0) (SQLDriverConnect)")

In an attempt to resolve it, I've run the following, as suggested here but to no avail. There's precious little on the web about this issue as well.

%%sh
curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | apt-key add -
curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/16.04/prod.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mssql-release.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get -q -y install msodbcsql17
!sudo apt-get install unixodbc-dev
!pip install pyodbc
!pip install chart_studio

import pyodbc

It's been a while since this was posted, but since I had the same problem and didn't find an answer anywhere, here is what worked for me:

!curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | apt-key add -
!curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/16.04/prod.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mssql-release.list
!sudo apt-get update
!sudo ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get -q -y install msodbcsql17

I did it in trial and error, but I hope it can help other people.
