Error loading SQL_VARIANT data type using Python

[archu....@gmail.com]

Hello,

I am using Python and MSSQL to query a database that I did not create. I have run into a problem querying a table that contains the SQL_VARIANT data type. I get the error: Error: ('ODBC data type -150 is not supported. Cannot read column Value.', 'HY000') I confirmed with the database creator that the "Value" column is of type SQL_VARIANT. Does anyone know a way to load this data type using Python? I am currently using mssql with pyodbc. Thank you for any help you can offer!  Thanks, Archana
