    <p>I am unable to connect to mySQl db using pyodbc.</p> <p>Here is a snippet of my script:</p> <pre><code>import pyodbc import csv cnxn = pyodbc.connect("DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=mydb; UID=root; PASSWORD=thatwouldbetelling;") crsr = cnxn.cursor() with open('C:\\skunkworks\\archive\\data\\myfile.csv','r') as myfile: rows = csv.reader(myfile, delimiter=',', quotechar='"') for row in rows: insert_str = 'INSERT into raw_data VALUES(something, something)' print insert_str #crsr.execute(insert_str) cnxn.commit() myfile.close() </code></pre> <p>I get this error at the pyodbc.connect() line:</p> <blockquote> <p>pyodbc.Error: ('IM002', '[IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified (0) (SQLDriverConnectW)')</p> </blockquote> <p>I have another question regarding this error (and Python scripts in general). When I run this as a script, it fails silently (I was expecting a stack trace). I have to type each line in manually to find where the error occured.</p> <p>I am being a bit lazy for now (no exception handling) - is this normal behaviour of a Python script without exception handling to fail silently?</p> <p><strong>[Edit]</strong></p> <p>I am not using mysqldb because I am already using pyodbc to extract my data from another source (MS Access). Ok, not a good reason - but I am already grappling with pyodbc and I dont really fancy having to wrestle with another library/module/package(whatever its called in Python) for a "one off" job. I just want to move my data of from various data sources in the Windows environment to mySQl on Linux. once on Linux, I'll be back on terra firma.</p> <p>That is the entire 'script' right there. I just saved the code above into a file with a .py extension, and I run python myscript.py at the command line. I am running this on my XP machine</p>

    3. CO"I dont really fancy having to wrestle with another library/module/package(whatever its called in Python) for a "one off" job" That violates the Python world view. It seems that all we ever do is download new packages and wrestle with them. Using a package for it's intended purpose is important. `pyodbc` probably cannot connect to MySQL. Period.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
