Summary

FEAT: Integrate mssql_py_core wheel installation into PR validation pipeline

Adds automated installation of mssql_py_core from the mssql-rs public NuGet feed into the PR validation
pipeline, enabling _bulkcopy API validation on the cursor during test runs.

Changes

New Files

eng/scripts/install-mssql-py-core.ps1 — PowerShell script (Windows/macOS) that downloads the
mssql-py-core-wheels NuGet package, extracts the platform-appropriate wheel, and pip installs it
eng/scripts/install-mssql-py-core.sh — Bash equivalent for Linux containers (Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL 9,
Alpine)
eng/versions/mssql-py-core.version — Pinned version file for the NuGet package (currently
0.1.0-dev.20260218.140230)

Modified Files

eng/pipelines/pr-validation-pipeline.yml — Added "Install mssql_py_core" step to all 10 test jobs (2
Windows, 2 macOS, 6 Linux containers)

Design Decisions

Version pinning: The NuGet package version is read from eng/versions/mssql-py-core.version. The file is
required — scripts error out if it's missing or empty. No "latest" fallback to prevent unexpected breakage
from upstream changes.
No binary dependencies: Scripts use raw HTTP (Invoke-WebRequest/curl) against the NuGet v3 API and native
archive extraction (Expand-Archive/unzip). No nuget.exe or dotnet CLI required.
Public feed: The mssql-rs_Public feed under sqlclientdrivers/public requires no authentication.
Local dev friendly: Developers can run .\eng\scripts\install-mssql-py-core.ps1 (or .sh) locally — same
codepath as CI.

Testing

Verified locally on Windows: script downloads 120 MB NuGet package, extracts correct wheel, pip installs,
and import mssql_py_core succeeds with PyCoreConnection, PyCoreCursor, set_driver_version exports.

- Add install-mssql-py-core.ps1 (Windows) and install-mssql-py-core.sh (Linux/macOS) scripts that download the mssql-py-core-wheels NuGet package from the public Azure Artifacts feed and pip install the platform-appropriate wheel - Add eng/versions/mssql-py-core.version to pin the NuGet package version (no fallback to latest - file is required) - Add 'Install mssql_py_core' step to all 10 test jobs in pr-validation-pipeline.yml - No authentication required (public feed), no nuget.exe dependency (raw HTTP + unzip) Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…o wheel available - Detect musl vs glibc on Linux to use musllinux_1_2 vs manylinux_2_28 wheel tags - Skip with warning (exit 0) instead of failing when no compatible wheel is found - Allows Alpine jobs to continue without blocking on missing musllinux wheels Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Missing wheels must block the pipeline — every platform must have a matching wheel. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

ldd --version exits with code 1 on musl/Alpine. Combined with set -euo pipefail, the piped grep check always took the else branch, misidentifying Alpine as glibc (manylinux). pip then rejected the manylinux wheel since it cannot run on musl. Fix: capture ldd output into a variable with || true before grepping. Add fallback detection via /etc/alpine-release and /lib/ld-musl-*. Skip gracefully (exit 0) when no musllinux wheel is available yet. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Add eng/scripts/repackage-with-mssql-py-core.py that downloads the mssql-py-core-wheels NuGet package, matches each mssql-python wheel to its corresponding mssql_py_core wheel by platform/Python tags, extracts the native extension (.pyd/.so) and supporting files, and injects them into the mssql-python wheel with updated RECORD hashes. Pipeline changes: - OneBranch consolidate-artifacts-job.yml: checkout source, install Python, run repackaging after wheel consolidation - eng/pipelines/build-whl-pipeline.yml: run repackaging after wheel build in Windows, macOS, and Linux jobs musllinux wheels are skipped gracefully since mssql_py_core does not yet ship musllinux builds.

Official builds now validate eng/versions/mssql-py-core.version and fail if it contains dev, nightly, alpha, beta, rc, or preview tags. NonOfficial builds are unaffected and can use any version. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
