HiveSQL for Python developers

Use the following code to connect to HiveSQL using Python:
import pypyodbc
connection = pypyodbc.connect('Driver={ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server};'
                              'Server=vip.hivesql.io;'
                              'Database=DBHive;'
                              'uid=[your_hivesql_account];'
                              'pwd=[your_hivesql_password]')
cursor = connection.cursor() 
SQLCommand = ("YOUR SQL QUERY”)
cursor.execute(SQLCommand)
# do whatever you want with the retrieved data
connection.close()
Remember you need to have ODBC drivers installed on your computer.
