python - Using sql server on django

Question

I have got following in my django env

Django==1.8.1
django-mssql==1.6.2
django-pyodbc==0.2.8
pyodbc==3.0.10
pywin32==219 
sql-server.pyodbc==1.0

and the following in my settings.py

DATABASES = {
  'default': {
    'NAME': 'db_name',
    'ENGINE': 'sqlserver_ado',
    'HOST': 'host_name\SQLEXPRESS',
    'USER': 'user_name',
    'PASSWORD': 'password',
  }
}

But when I try to migrate it I face the following error. Am I missing out something?

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: 'sqlserver_ado' isn't an available database backend.
Try using 'django.db.backends.XXX', where XXX is one of:
'base', 'mysql', 'oracle', 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'sqlite3'
Error was: cannot import name 'BaseDatabaseWrapper'

Answer 1

You need to install the python package django-sqlserver.
