Mar 1, 2025March 2025: Documentation accuracy and onboarding improvements for microsoft/mssql-python. The primary work this month was a bug fix in the README to ensure the Connect import guidance accurately demonstrates how to import the connect function for establishing database connections. This change was implemented in README.md (commit 3eaf899945049b8655b746ee7e3c09d4e46985fa). Result: reduced onboarding friction and fewer confusion-related support requests. No new features were released this month; the focus was on reliability and clarity of introductory guidance. Skills demonstrated include careful documentation review, Git version-control practices, and collaboration with maintainers to align examples with actual usage.
