After Connecting, you can execute a SQL statement and retrieve the results.

SELECT Procedure

You will need to obtain a cursor before executing any SQL. Once you have one, you can use the cursor's execute method.

cursor = cnxn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT actor.attributes.email, repository.name FROM [publicdata].[samples].github_nested WHERE repository.name = 'EntityFramework'")

Iterating over the Results

You can use a for loop to iterate over the rows of the resultset. Each row is presented as a tuple containing column values:

for (actor.attributes.email, repository.name) in cursor:
    print("actor.attributes.email = {}, repository.name = {}".format(actor.attributes.email, repository.name))
