Export SQL Server query results to XLSX with pyodbc and pandas, and see what SSMS, bcp and the Import and Export Wizard give you instead.

Format a pandas DataFrame in Excel with XlsxWriter: header style, number and date formats, auto-fit widths, a table with banding and conditional formatting.

Run a PostgreSQL query from Python and write an Excel file with correct types, converting timestamptz, numeric and ids so the workbook opens cleanly.

Export SQL results to Excel that open cleanly: keep types and dates, carry formatting, use several sheets, resist formula injection and run on a schedule.
