Connecting With a Dialect URL

Establishing a connection using SQLAlchemy requires a specific URL format.
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
engine = create_engine("cdata_access:///?DataSource=C:\\My.accdb")

For SQLAlchemy 2.0, the dialect name is access_2. To establish a connection, use the following URL format:

from sqlalchemy import create_engine
engine = create_engine("access_2:///?DataSource=C:\\My.accdb")
