I have used the following code in ADO: # The following code creates a connection object, # assigns the connection string, opens the # connection object, and then verifies a good # connection.
oConn = Dispatch('ADODB.Connection') oConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;" +\ "Data Source=servername;" +\ "uid=loginid;" +\ "pwd=password;" +\ "database=databasename" oConn.Open() if oConn.State == adStateOpen: print "Database connection SUCCEEDED" else: print "Database connection FAILED" Hope this helps -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
