Run Python Scripts on SQL server database that's on the on-premises gateway

Hello all,

 

Just joined the community, so I am sorry if I do not relay my message correctly. Anyways, I have an on-premises gateway setup to connect PowerBI to my native SQL Server DB (SSMS 2012). I am using SQL stored procedures to load my data into PowerBI and then passing parameters to the stored procedure. This all works fine, but now I want to manipulate the data with python, and I need to figure out how to establish a secure connection with python. Currently, I cannot run a python script on the loaded SQL data due to privacy/security issues (data combination error). 

 

I was wondering if anyone knew how to solve this problem, or how to add pandas dataframe as a secure datasource. Moreover, how can I make sure that the connection I'm using with pandas to manipulate my SQL data is secure as well? If there is any other solution that you think might work, please let me know.

 

Thanks!
