"Database server not found" means that the SQL Anywhere client was not able to find a server running called "servername" with a database mounted on the server called "databasename".

Can you describe how you started the SQL Anywhere database engine prior to trying to connect?

Hello, the data I posted is not correct because I don't want to share sensitive company information. However, with the same data, I can log in to the database using SQL Central, so I'm sure the data is correct. I have the following drivers installed on my computer: ['SQL Server', 'UltraLite 17', 'SQL Anywhere 16', 'SQL Anywhere 17', 'ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server', 'UltraLite 16']. However, I couldn't connect using the pyodbc library.

The database is already running, and in the engine, I entered the server name. Is that correct?

You haven't given us a lot of information to go on here. Let me try and attack this a different way. If I open up a DOS prompt the following commands work like a charm for me :

dbinit -mpl 3 -dba dba,sql databasename.db
dbspawn dbsrv17 -n servername databasename.db
python test.py

The contents of test.py are :

import sqlanydb

params = { 'uid': 'dba', 'pwd': 'sql', 'eng': 'servername', 'dbn': 'databasename' }
con = sqlanydb.connect( **params )
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute('select count(*) from sysfile')
assert cur.fetchone()[0] > 0
con.close()
print('Done!')

Do the commands above work for you?

If no, please describe what goes wrong.

If yes, what is different in your real environment where it doesn't work?

I am using PYODBC and this connection string works (here I should define the driver name).

import pyodbc
from pyodbc import Cursor 
conn = pyodbc.connect('Driver={SQL Anywhere 17};Database=???;Server=???;UID=???;pwd=???')
cursor = conn.cursor().execute('select * from dummy')

BTW, your example code worked also worked for me, so the problem is probably in your environment.
