MsSqlHandler(connection_properties, max_retries=8, max_conn_retries=3, retry_wait_time=30, exponential_min_retry_wait_time=0.1, exponential_multiplier=1, skip_connect=True, **kwargs)

Subclass of SqlHandler used for Microsoft SQL Server.

    """Method that initializes the SQL handler.

    This already connects to the SQL server.

    This handler implements a robust retry strategy using exponential backoff to gracefully manage connection or query failures. By default, operations are attempted up to 8 times; between failures, the wait time doubles exponentially—starting at 0.1 second (0.1s, 0.2s, 0.4s, 0.8s, 1.6s, 3.2s, 6.4s, 12.8s  )—until it reaches a configured ceiling of 30 seconds. This approach allows for rapid recovery from momentary glitches while preventing server overload during persistent outages.

    Using the default parameters the connection will fail after around 90 seconds if the server is not reachable.

    Parameters
    ----------
    connection_properties : SqlConnProperties
        Object containing connection parameters.
    max_retries : int, optional
        Number of retries that will be attempted when doing queries. Will be used in `stop` parameter of tenacity.stop_after_attempt, by default 8
    max_conn_retries : int, optional
        Number of retries that will be attempted when reconnecting. Will be used in `stop` parameter of tenacity.stop_after_attempt, by default 3
    exponential_min_retry_wait_time: float, optional
        Min time to wait between retries when reconnecting or doing queries. Will be used in `min` parameter of tenacity.wait_exponential, by default 0.1
    exponential_multiplier: float, optional
        Multiplier to use when calculating wait time between retries when reconnecting or doing queries. Will be used in `multiplier` parameter of tenacity.wait_exponential, by default 1
    skip_connect : bool, optional
        If True, the connection will not be established when the object is created.

        If this is set toTrue, the user will need to manually call the reconnect() method when they want to connect to the server.

        By default True
    **kwargs : dict, optional
        Just kept here for compatibility.

table_exists(schema, table_name)

Method to check if a table or view exists in the MS SQL Server database.

Parameters:

  • schema

    (str | None) –

    Name of the schema where the table should be located.

  • table_name

    (str) –

    Name of the table to check.

Returns:

  • bool

    True if the table exists, False otherwise.
