Database engine fails to connect to a sql-server instance while trying to insert using to_sql function

Question

I am trying to insert pandas dataframe CAPE into SQL Server DB using dataframe.to_SQL. I have referred the following solution to insert rows. PyOdbc fails to connect to a sql server instance

But I am getting an error shown below.

Source code:

   CAPE    # Input dataframe
   connection = pdc.connect('Driver={SQL Server};''Server=GIRSQL.GIRCAPITAL.com;''Database=Tableau;''uid=SQL_User;pwd=Greentableau!')
   connection_string = urllib.parse.quote_plus(connection)
   connection_string = "mssql+pyodbc:///?odbc_connect=%s" % connection_string
   engine = sq.create_engine(connection_string)
   CAPE.to_sql(engine, name='[Tableau].[dbo].[Company_Table]',if_exists='replace')

This is the error I am getting:

Answer 1

The first positional parameter of DataFrame.to_sql() is a table name, you passed engine (SQLAlchemy object) as a first parameter.

So try this instead:

CAPE.to_sql('[Tableau].[dbo].[Company_Table]',con=engine, if_exists='replace')
