如何从 ZC5FD214CDD0D2B3B4272E 中的 python 容器脚本连接到 Ubuntu 上的本地 SQL 服务器

Question

I have an SQL Server installed in Ubuntu 20.04 (which is installed in VirtualBox) and a Docker container with a python script in it. What I want to do is to connect from this python script to the SQL server running on the host.

Here is the Dockerfile I used to create an image:

# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1

FROM python:3.8-slim-buster
WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt requirements.txt

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y gnupg2 curl
RUN curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | apt-key add -
RUN curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.04/prod.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mssql-release.list

RUN apt-get update
RUN ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get install -y msodbcsql17
RUN ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get install -y mssql-tools
RUN echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/opt/mssql-tools/bin"' >> ~/.bash_profile
RUN echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/opt/mssql-tools/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc

RUN apt-get update \
  && apt-get -y install gcc \
  && apt-get -y install g++ \
  && apt-get -y install unixodbc unixodbc-dev \
  && apt-get clean 

RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt

COPY . .

CMD [ "python3", "-m" , "test", "run", "--host=0.0.0.0"]

I know it looks messy, but I encountered several issues while installing pyodbc, and it looks like all this code has solved the problem.

I can now successfully create an image, but when launching a container, it produces the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/runpy.py", line 194, in _run_module_as_main
    return _run_code(code, main_globals, None,
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "/app/test.py", line 10, in <module>
    connection = pyodbc.connect(connection_string, autocommit=True)
pyodbc.OperationalError: ('HYT00', '[HYT00] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]Login timeout expired (0) (SQLDriverConnect)')
['ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server']

It looks like there is something wrong with the connection string, which looks like this:

connection_string = 'Driver={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};Server=tcp:host.docker.internal,1433;UID=SA;PWD=<my_password>'

I've been struggling with this for some time now but still cannot make it work. Would appreciate any help or advice!

UPD

As Pato recommended, I tried changing the Server option in the connection string with the IP address of the machine.

ip addr show returned me the following output:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

    inet6 ::1/128 scope host

    inet6 fe80::42:35ff:fe26:ba86/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

So, I tried substituting host.docker.internal with 127.0.0.1 , 10.0.2.15 and 172.17.0.1 . All of them gave me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "/app/test.py", line 10, in <module>
    connection = pyodbc.connect(connection_string, autocommit=True)
pyodbc.Error: ('01000', "[01000] [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib 'ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server;Server=tcp:172.17.0.1,1433;UID=SA;PWD=<my_password>' : file not found (0) (SQLDriverConnect)")

ifconfig returned me this:

Answer 1

I was researching about this connection problem, and the error file not found is in this post . I tried to recreate your settings but I get the same error.

A fast solution is to change the driver to pymssql==2.2.2 (tested in my docker container).

pip3 install pymssql==2.2.2

Here's the example:

import pymssql

conn = pymssql.connect('host.docker.internal', 'sa', 'yourPassword', "database")

cursor = conn.cursor()

cursor.execute("""
IF OBJECT_ID('persons', 'U') IS NOT NULL
    DROP TABLE persons
CREATE TABLE persons (
    id INT NOT NULL,
    name VARCHAR(100),
    salesrep VARCHAR(100),
    PRIMARY KEY(id)
)
""")

cursor.executemany(
    "INSERT INTO persons VALUES (%d, %s, %s)",
    [(1, 'John Smith', 'John Doe'),
     (2, 'Jane Doe', 'Joe Dog'),
     (3, 'Mike T.', 'Sarah H.')])

# you must call commit() to persist your data if you don't set autocommit to True
conn.commit()

cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM persons WHERE salesrep=%s', 'John Doe')
row = cursor.fetchone()
while row:
    print("ID=%d, Name=%s" % (row[0], row[1]))
    row = cursor.fetchone()

conn.close()

# Result
'''
ID=1, Name=John Smith
'''
