I am encountering errors when trying to use the pd.to_sql function to write 
a dataframe to MS SQL Data Warehouse.
The connection works when NOT using sqlalchemy engines.
I can read dataframes as well as row-by-row via select statements when I 
use pyodbc connections
I can write data via insert statements (as well as delete data) when using 
pyodbc.
However, when I try to connect using a sqlalchemy engine I run into a 
string of error messages starting with:

ProgrammingError: (pyodbc.ProgrammingError) ('42000', "[42000] [Microsoft][ODBC 
Driver 13 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Catalog view 'dm_exec_sessions' is not 
supported in this version. (104385) (SQLExecDirectW)")


I have searched online, and this exact error seems to have been reported / 
evaluated in May of this year as issue #3994:


https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlalchemy/issues/3994/azure-sql-datawarehouse-basic


I could not find a solution to this, and I'd really dislike to do a line-wise 
or blob insert statement (I'm working with multiple datasets that each has a 
few million rows, so execution time is a consideration, although the result 
sets I'm getting are more like in the 100k lines area each.)


I get the same error messages even when I replace the pd.to_sql command with a 
simple engine.connect()


Enclosed my installed packages (packages.list)

Enclosed the full traceback (traceback.txt)


This is the code I'm using:

connection_string = 
"mssql+pyodbc://<username>:<password>@<sqlhost>.database.windows.net:<port>/<database>?driver=ODBC+Driver+13+for+SQL+Server"
engn = sqlalchemy.engine.create_engine(connection_string, echo=True)
engn.connect()


I'm very well aware that MS SQL DataWarehouse behaves a bit different, so 
I'm open for some experimenting to get this issue narrowed down.

In case it matters: I'm running an ubuntu 16.04 VM on azure with jupyter 
notebook server and python 3.6.1.

Best,

DB
