## Using db-to-sqlite with MS SQL

The best way to get the connection string needed for the MS SQL connections below is to use urllib from the Standard Library as below

params = urllib.parse.quote_plus(
"DRIVER={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};"
"SERVER=localhost;"
"DATABASE=my_database;"
"Trusted_Connection=yes;"
)

The above will resolve to

DRIVER%3D%7BSQL+Server+Native+Client+11.0%7D%3B+SERVER%3Dlocalhost%3B+DATABASE%3Dmy_database%3B+Trusted_Connection%3Dyes

You can then use the string above in the odbc_connect below

mssql+pyodbc:///?odbc_connect=DRIVER%3D%7BSQL+Server+Native+Client+11.0%7D%3B+SERVER%3Dlocalhost%3B+DATABASE%3Dmy_database%3B+Trusted_Connection%3Dyes
