This DBI implements the Cursor and Connection objects. It is functional: you can create connections, cursors, do fetchone, fetchall, get rowcount, etc. It uses osql or sqlcmd instead of ODBC or ADO. There is a good sized section with examples to get you started.

This is a library I created to manage SQL server databases, now updated for Python 3. It works with SQL2005,SQL2008,SQL2012,SQL2014's sqlcmd, in addition to the SQL2000 and SQL7's osql.exe. If you are a system engineer or database administrator and find yourself doing a lot of scripts and batch files doing calls to sqlcmd.exe you will find this library useful. Comments and suggestions are appreciated. See comments in the previous version.

Will update this to use subprocess.Popen
