I was facing the same issue whole day wasted and I tried all possible ODBC Driver values

import pyodbc
connection = pyodbc.connect('Driver = {SQL Server};Server=ServerName;'
                            'Database=Database_Name;Trusted_Connection=yes;')

In place of Driver = {SQL Server} we can try these option one by one or just you can use with you corresponding setting, somehow in my case the last one works :)

Driver={ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server} for SQL Server 2005 - 2014
Driver={ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server} for SQL Server 2005 - 2016
Driver={ODBC Driver 13.1 for SQL Server} for SQL Server 2008 - 2016
Driver={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server} for SQL Server 2008 - 2017

Driver={SQL Server} for SQL Server 2000
Driver={SQL Native Client} for SQL Server 2005
Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0} for SQL Server 2008
Driver={SQL Server Native Client 11.0} for SQL Server 2012

Do not put a space after the Driver keyword in the connection string   This fails on Windows        conn str         r DRIVER    SQL Server        r SERVER  local  SQLEXPRESS       r DATABASE myDb       r Trusted Connection yes     cnxn   pyodbc connect conn str        but this works   conn str         r DRIVER  SQL Server        r SERVER  local  SQLEXPRESS       r DATABASE myDb       r Trusted Connection yes     cnxn   pyodbc connect conn str

I faced this issue and was looking for the solution  Finally I was trying all the options from the https   github com mkleehammer pyodbc wiki Connecting-to-SQL-Server-from-Windows   and for my MSSQL 12 only   ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server   works  Just try it one by one  And the second important thing you have to get correct server name  because I thought preciously that I need to set  SQLEXPRESS in all of the cases  but found out that you have to set EXACTLY what you see in the server properties  Example on the screenshot

Apart from the other answers  that considered the connection string itself  it might simply be necessary to download the correct odbc driver  My client just faced this issue when executing a python app  that required it  you can check this by pressing windows   typing  odbc   the correct driver should appear in the drivers tab

if any one are trying to access the database which is hosted in azure then try to give the driver as ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server

I am also getting same error  Finally i have found the solution  We can search odbc in our local program and check for version of odbc  In my case i have version 17 and 11 so  i have used 17 in connection string    DRIVER  ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server

Create a DSN something like this  ASEDEV  for your connection and try to use DSN instead of DRIVER like below  enter code here import pyodbc cnxn   pyodbc connect  DSN ASEDEV User ID sa Password sybase123   mycur   cnxn cursor   mycur execute  quot select   from master  sysdatabases quot   row   mycur fetchone   while row      print row      row   mycur fetchone
