I have numerous databases on a server,I am able to connect using : engine = create_engine("mssql+pyodbc://scott:tiger@some_dsn"). However, this connects to the default database. Is there a way i can specify a particular Database on the server? I tried :engine = create_engine("mssql+pyodbc://scott:tiger@some_dsn/bdname") but this did not work

Regards

Hi Tiny, please what would the host name and port be when using pymssql? i am failry new to this.many thanks
the host name is the db's host ( server name where your db is hosted), you can try with this link to check your port number mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2495/…
