It automatically captures SQL queries, execution time, and connection details as spans, allowing you to see database activity within your broader observability stack without modifying application code.\n\nIt's part of the OpenTelemetry Python contrib ecosystem and depends on opentelemetry-instrumentation-dbapi for the underlying database instrumentation layer. The package is in beta (version 0.65b0), meaning the core functionality is stable but the API may evolve. It supports Python 3.10 through 3.14 and is actively maintained.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use pymssql and need OpenTelemetry integration. Low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and permissive licensing make it a straightforward addition to observability stacks. Beta status is not a blocker for production use in the OpenTelemetry ecosystem. Install it only if you already have an OpenTelemetry collector or exporter configured to receive the spans."},"id":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-pymssql","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-pymssql","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-pymssql.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-instrumentation-pymssql/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-16","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-pymssql","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenTelemetry pymssql instrumentation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":346811,"position":7352,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.65b0"}
