Thanks, that looks like what I'm looking for. I assume specifying "ibm_db_sa://" for the string will let SA use the proper dialect?
I'm now getting "pyodbc.Connection object has no attribute server_info", in case anyone happens to know what that's about. I'm getting nightmarish flashbacks to my "has no attribute" error last week for the same object. But at least this is a different one; I'll count it as a good thing!
