I am facing the following problem. Can anyone please provide some guideline?
Problem Statement: Extract data stored in the .sdf file to python. System
config: Win 10 Pro 64-bit, python 3.5.2-64 bit, adodbapi library, SQL CE 3.5
I am fairly new to programming and I have picked up Python as my first language
to learn. Currently, I have hit a wall in process of connecting a SQL CE 3.5
.sdf file.
I have used the adodbapi library. I have searched the web extensively over the
past week to find a solution to this problem and to make sure that my
connection string is correct. I have tried multiple options/solutions provided
on stack overflow and
https://www.connectionstrings.com/microsoft-sqlserver-ce-oledb-3-5/.
Code:
import adodbapi
cons_str = "Provoider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.MOBILE.OLEDB.3.5;" \
"Data Source=D:\Work\Programming\Python\SQL_DataTransfer\LF.sdf;"\
"Persist Security Info=False;" \
"SSCE:Max Database Size=4091"
I can a problem here. Your string contains "Provoider", which is a
misspelling. It should be "Provider".
It would also be a good idea to make those 'raw' strings (prefix them
with 'r') where they contain backslashes.
connection = adodbapi.connect(cons_str)
print(connection)
Error Message: Traceback (most recent call last): File

At this point any help is much appreciated.
I've had a quick look on StackOverflow. I think you have to install pywin32.
