pymssql #######

Building

To build pymssql you should have:

Windows

MinGW ^^^^^

Add to the above requirements:

then you can run::

python setup.py build -c mingw32

which will build pymssql in the normal python fashion.

MS Visual C++ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Environment Setup:


The commands below should be ran inside a Visual Studio command prompt or a
command prompt window where the ``vcsvars*.bat`` file has been previously run so
it can set the needed environment vars.

Building FreeTDS:

Build FreeTDS from the current or stable tarball.

.. _current: http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/current/ .. _stable: http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/stable/

Use nmake (included with VS C++) to build FreeTDS. To do that,

Define in the environment or on the command line:

  1. CONFIGURATION = debug/release
  2. PLATFORM = win32/x64

These will determine what is built and where outputs are placed.

Example invocations::

nmake.exe -f Nmakefile -nologo PLATFORM=win32 CONFIGURATION=debug nmake.exe -f Nmakefile -nologo build-win32d

Fixing build errors: I ran into a couple build errors when using VS 2008, see the following links for resolutions:

When this is done, the following files should be available (depending on CONFIGURATION and PLATFORM used above)::

src\dblib\\\db-lib.lib src\tds\\\tds.lib

for example::

src\dblib\win32\release\db-lib.lib src\dblib\win32\release\tds.lib

Those files should then be copied to::

\freetds\vs2008_\lib\ for example:: \freetds\vs2008_32\lib\ \freetds\vs2008_64\lib\ The location obviously depends on whether you are performing a 32 or 64 bit build. .. note:: This process is currently only tested with Visual Studio 2008 targeting a 32-bit build. If you run into problems, please post to the mailing list. Then you can simply run:: python setup.py build or other ``setup.py`` commands as needed. Unix ==== To build on Unix you must also have: * gcc Then you can simply run:: python setup.py build or other ``setup.py`` commands as needed. Testing ======= .. danger:: ALL DATA IN TESTING DBS WILL BE DELETED !!!! You will need to install two additional packages for testing:: easy_install nose SQLAlchemy You should build the package with:: python setup.py develop You need to setup a ``tests.cfg`` file in ``tests/`` with the correct DB connection information for your environement:: cd tests/ cp tests.cfg.tpl tests.cfg vim|emacs|notepad tests.cfg To run the tests:: cd tests/ nosetests Which will go through and run all the tests with the settings from the ``DEFAULT`` section of ``tests.cfg``. To run with a different ``tests.cfg`` section:: nosetests --pymssql-section= example:: nosetests --pymssql-section=AllTestsWillRun to avoid slow tests:: nosetests -a '!slow' to select specific tests to run:: nosetests test_types.py nosetests test_types.py test_sprocs.py nosetests test_types.py:TestTypes nosetests test_types.py:TestTypes.test_image
