# mssql-python

This is a new Python driver for Microsoft SQL Server currently in Alpha phase.

## Public Preview Release

We are making progress - The Public Preview of our driver is now available! This marks a significant milestone in our development journey. While we saw a few early adopters of our alpha release, we are introducing the following functionalities to support your applications in a more robust and reliable manner.

### What's Included:

- Everything from previous releases
- **Linux Support**: The mssql-python driver now supports Linux OS (manylinux2014) - Ubuntu, Debian and RHEL, enabling seamless development on Linux based systems. Added Linux driver libraries and related logic for architecture-specific handling and ODBC driver path resolution. Support for other Linux based distros will come in subsequent releases.
- **Connection Pooling Support for MacOS and Linux**: Implemented connection pooling features for MacOS and Linux, including tests and unified code support for pooling across platforms.
Expanded Pipeline/Test Matrix: Added/expanded support for Python versions < 3.13 and enhanced database setup for testing, including LocalDB and Docker-based SQL Server.

### What's Next:

As we continue to develop and refine the driver, you can expect regular updates that will introduce new features, optimizations, and bug fixes. We encourage you to contribute, provide feedback and report any issues you encounter, as this will help us improve the driver for the final release.

### Stay Tuned:

We appreciate your interest and support in this project. Stay tuned for more updates and enhancements as we work towards delivering a robust and fully-featured driver in coming months.
Thank you for being a part of our journey!
