cursor.execute in python for SQL

I need the script to monitor the sql server expiration from linux by python code and

In SQL output is coming but in linux, it gives the following error:

>>> cursor.execute("select loginproperty('tibbr_db','DaysUntilExpiration')")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
pyodbc.Error: ('ODBC data type -150 is not supported.  Cannot read column .', 'HY000')

Explicitly cast the LOGINPROPERTY return value to an integer to work around the data type mapping problem by changing the query from this:

"select loginproperty('tibbr_db','DaysUntilExpiration')"

to this:

"select cast(loginproperty('tibbr_db','DaysUntilExpiration') as integer)"

The DaysUntilExpiration property in SQL Server should always return an integer, so you won't see any type errors with the explicit conversion.

ODBC type -150 looks like a SQL Server variant type, which pyodbc doesn't map to a python type.
