title: Microsoft SQL Server Won't Connect Through Python
body: <p>I've looked through some other things but haven't been able to find a working solution. </p>
  
  <p>Here is my code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>conn = db.connect("Driver={SQL Server}; Server='Server';Database='Database_DW'; uid='uid'; pwd = 'pwd'")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I run this code and I get the following error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>DatabaseError: ('08001', '[08001] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server
    Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.')</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I'm really at a loss here. I can log in fine through the SQL Server Client with the exact some credentials. </p>
