I'm trying to connect from a Databricks notebook to an Azure SQL Datawarehouse using the pyodbc python library. When I execute the code I get this error:
Error: ('01000', "[01000] [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib 'ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server' : file not found (0) (SQLDriverConnect)")
I understand that I need to install this driver but I have no idea how to do it. I have a Databricks cluster runing with Runetime 6.4, Standard_DS3_v2.
By default, Azure Databricks does not have ODBC Driver installed.
Run the following commands in a single cell to install MS SQL ODBC Driver on Azure Databricks cluster.
%sh
curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | apt-key add -
curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/16.04/prod.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mssql-release.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get -q -y install msodbcsql17
