Question:

Is there a faster way to convert pyodbc.rows object to pandas Dataframe? It take about 30-40 minutes to convert a list of 10 million+ pyodbc.rows objects to pandas dataframe.

import pyodbc import pandas server = <server_ip> database = <db_name> username = <db_user> password = <password> port='1443' conn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER='+server+';PORT='+port+';DATABASE='+database+';UID='+username+';PWD='+ password) #takes upto 12 minutes rows = cursor.execute("select top 10000000 * from [LSLTGT].[MBR_DIM] ").fetchall() #Read cursor data into Pandas dataframe.....Takes forever! df = pandas.DataFrame([tuple(t) for t in rows])

You might get some improvement by using a generator expression rather than a list comprehension:

df = pandas.DataFrame((tuple(t) for t in rows))
