Internal implementation package for mssql-python — Microsoft's official Python driver for SQL Server, Azure SQL, and SQL databases in Fabric.
This package ships the platform-specific Microsoft ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server binaries
(and the supporting runtime libraries they depend on) as a standalone, pure-data wheel, so that
mssql-python does not have to bundle them inside its own wheel.
Linux wheels are specific to both CPU architecture and libc family: manylinux wheels
include the glibc-based Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL, and available SUSE driver variants, while
musllinux wheels include only the Alpine/musl variant. Each retains the supporting
libraries and resources for its included drivers.
Do not install this package directly. Install
mssql-python instead — it declares the correct
pinned dependency on mssql-python-odbc and loads these binaries automatically:
pip install mssql-python
For usage, API documentation, and source code, see the mssql-python project on GitHub.
This package redistributes proprietary Microsoft binaries under their respective license terms.
The full license text also ships inside every wheel (in the wheel metadata under .dist-info/licenses/).
