It depends on python-tds for the low-level protocol implementation and SQLAlchemy for the database abstraction layer. The package allows developers to write database code using SQLAlchemy's standard API while connecting to SQL Server instances.\n\nThe package is in Beta status and has been dormant for extended periods, though the repository remains unarchived. It sits in the top 5000 PyPI packages by download volume, suggesting some production use, but the infrequent maintenance and outdated Python version classifiers warrant caution when evaluating it for new projects.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package is permissively licensed and has low install friction, but its dormant maintenance status and outdated Python version classifiers mean you should verify that python-tds meets your SQL Server compatibility and performance needs before committing to production use."},"id":"sqlalchemy-pytds","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-pytds","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-pytds.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sqlalchemy-pytds/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-09-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sqlalchemy-pytds","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A Microsoft SQL Server TDS connector for SQLAlchemy."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":846855,"position":4914,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.2"}
