With experience in Oracle and Python, and especially interacting with an Oracle database from Python itself, it would be straightforward but I'm not keen on guessing how much time it would take, but I'll put my WAG on the table anyway for a not-fully-tested alpha version: 1 week? I would say significantly less. Without doing anything, the current code should work for everywhere that Oracle shares SQL with MySQL and PostgreSQL; the only things that would need any coding are for those places where the code differs. If you have Oracle experience, it would be simple enough to identify those areas based on the generated SQL, and make the changes. Heck, if you tell me what isn't correct, I can make the changes and post them for further testing. I just don't have access to an Oracle installation to test against. I did the work for dbOracle.py and the only reason it is not finished was missing unicode support in cx_oracle. I would guess that now cx_oracle has stabilized to get it done. Most of the things are already there. I used the free version (Oracle 10g Express Edition) which is free to use. And sorry, i have no time for this due to a new job.

LC_ALL=en_EN.cp1252, but same result.
I use the LANG env variable to switch languages in Linux.
e.g.:
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
After dApp instantiation i do:
# get LANG from env
currrent_lang = os.getenv(LANG, None)
if currrent_lang != None:
lang, charset = currrent_lang.split('.')
if lang == 'de_DE':
print 'Setting dabo.settings.dateFormat to %d.%m.%Y'
dabo.settings.dateFormat = %d.%m.%Y
if charset == 'UTF-8': charset = 'UTF8'
print 'Calling app.setLanguage(%s, %s)' % (lang, charset)
app.setLanguage(lang, charset)
This always worked for my apps.

Now dabo can be imported by python scripts. I am assuming I can ignore the next few line about svn up and installing specific versions I assumed that this installed dabo somewhere and the src folder was now redundant, but... You installed dabo in your home. Keep it there! The src folder is not redundant. Keep it! The symbolic link that was placed in your python enviroment points to the dabo files under your home. If there are new changes in svn you cd to $HOME/src/dabo and call: svn up This allows you to update the dabo source tree without root privilegs. # To check that dabo works correctly, run the DaboDemo.py cd $HOME/src/dabo/demo python DaboDemo.py suggests that the src folder (which I took to stand for source) still has files that are needed, or is it just that the DabDemo.py file was downloaded along with the source and the source files in the src folder are in fact now redundant, and DabDemo could be moved to anywhere. Alternatively, from lower down the same web page, does this work with Ubuntu 10.10 (it says tested on 7.04) set -ex sudo apt-get --yes install python-reportlab python-wxgtk2.8 subversion python-mysqldb svn checkout http://svn.dabodev.com/dabo/trunk dabo cd dabo sudo python setup.py install The above method installs dabo under your python enviroment. You can't update the installed dabo by svn any more. The linked in dabo source is easier to handle as you are able to update by svn to any needed revision. Do not use the web update method as it clashes with svn update method! Which assume does the same as the earlier step by step instructions (I already have python-wxgtk2.8 and python -mysqldb installed, so I assume I could just miss them off the list) The python setup.py method doesn't do the same as the linked in svn method. It installs the dabo source tree under your python enviroment. You can't update this with svn directly. The final question which is on how I update Dabo, I assume this is really an SVN question, so again bear with me. If you want to update, do this: cd $HOME/src/dabo svn up I'm afraid all of this is still very alien to me, and I am still scared of breaking something, unless instructionsare very detailed and very specific to my distro and version.

Do they have valid reasons behind their policy? I'd call a meeting and say thanks but no thanks: you people are binding my hands for no reason. Paul Even if we did have the PK field for the view we will still have issues. For example how does Dabo return the generated PK after an insert. Recall that the view in question allows inserts, updates, and deletes. But using the Dabo's getLastInsertID () does not work for a view. Standard Postgres curval() (returns the last generated number) function requires the name of the sequence used and the dbPostgres routine only works for a table. So dbPostgres does not know how to determine (in a dynamic way) the sequence name from a view (yet). I wonder if other backends know how to determine the generated PK from a view. I'm going to see if there is a way to get that done. But in the mean time I just over wrote the save() method. If there is no reliable getLastInsertID() you would set the new PKs before insert. That way you know how to retrieve the new record after an insert. If there is no way to retrieve the new record after an insert you have lost the normal table behavior anyway. Views should have the same behavior as a normal table. Otherwise they can't be used in the same way.

Re: [dabo-users] dDropDown and nulls
John wrote: Hi, Working with an interesting issue. I have a table (this is not my table) that contains a legal null value for a field (product_category) and does not have a key (just text ). When I display the table in a grid all is fine with the null value because the grid displays 'None' as I would have expected. I also have a dropdown for the same field that needs to allow a null or 'None' for the choices (ValueMode = string because there is no key). I manually add the string 'None' to the Choices. However, when I select the records on the grid that contain null values, the dropdown does not move to the related 'None'. Selecting a record that does not contain a Null (IOW's a string for the value) the dropdown selection follows correctly. I can't add a null value to a Choices items. So I'm looking for suggestions. I was thinking I should bind a method to update the dropdown to the grid row selection. What are your thoughts. Johnf I solved this by a default value of 0 in the database field. The dropdowns key, value for this is 0, -/-.

It will work for a tempCursor and for the normal cursor, but i would use a tempCursor. Execute doesn't take a parameter startTransaction, so I suppose I need beginTransaction() and commitTransaction() (or rollbackTransaction()), right? With your example I hope I get this going. exucute() isn't a Dabo method, it's from kinterbasdb, so there is no startTransaction parameter. You have to do it yourself. But the tempCursor has execute(), beginTransaction(), commitTransaction(), rollbackTransaction() - Dabo methods or not? And there is dBizobj.executeSafe, which uses an auxiliary cursor. Where is the difference between using that and using getTempCursor()? To keep Dabo from messing with the current transaction you will have to use Dabos _getTransactionToken(), _releaseTransactionToken() methods. But shouldn't the methods mentioned above manage the current and the new transaction correctly, without me using internals? You have to use the internals because execute in Dabo doesn't do transaction handling. Dabo doesn't use the database terminology. A transaction is something bound to the connection not to the cursor. Tying the transaction logically to the cursor is wrong! The logic is as follows: - get a connection - start a transaction for your connection - execute a sql command - commit or rollback your transaction Dabo does this for you if the method has a parameter startTransaction. saveAll, save, deleteAllChildren, delete and deleteAll do transaction handling. If you want to do transaction handling for a execute call, you have to do this on your own like i showed in my bizobj method deleteCurrentRecord(). Because a transaction is bound to a connection, it doesn't matter if you use the regular curser, a tempCursor or a auxilary cursor. The connection is the owner of the current transaction. Because Dabo doesn't do transaction handling for execute, you have to do this yourself. Look at dBizobj.commitTransaction(): def commitTransaction(self): # ... ret = self._hasTransactionToken() and self._CurrentCursor.commitTransaction() if ret: self._releaseTransactionToken() return ret self._CurrentCursor.commitTransaction() only gets called if the bizobj is the owner of the transaction token. If you do not make sure that the bizobj owns the transaction token, the commit never gets called. The code below is all wrong because you didn't do what i showed you in my code example. If your insert or delete in your stored proc is working for you, this might be a side effect of other calls. But it is still the wrong way to do it. I've tried two ways (both methods in my bizobj code): def callmyproc(self, params): sql = EXECUTE PROCEDURE myproc(?,..?) isOk = self.beginTransaction() if not isOk: ... return False try: self.executeSafe(sql, params) except dabo.dException.DBQueryException, ex: ... ret = self.rollbackTransaction() else: ... ret = self.commitTransaction() return ret Or using a temporary cursor: def callmyproc(self, params): sql = EXECUTE PROCEDURE myproc(?,..?) crs = self.getTemporaryCursor() try: crs.execute(sql, params) except dabo.dException.DBQueryException, ex: ... ret = crs.rollbackTransaction() else: ... ret = crs.commitTransaction() return ret What I don't understand about the temporary cursor: the return value of crs.beginTransaction() always seems to be False, so I took this out of the second method. It just means that there already is a started transaction. In all cases I get the data into the table, and I get exceptions where I expect them (intentional violations of unique constraints or referential integrity). BTW, dBizobj.save() seems to save everything in the bizobj and to commit. So it looks as if another way to get data into a table via executable procedure might simply be this: crs.execute(sql, params) # or self.executeSafe, to get the data into the table, but uncommitted self.requery() # to get the new data into the bizobj self.save() # now everything is saved again and committed But this was an unintentional side effect of calling save() at the wrong moment. I doubt it's the right way to go about this. The little test application I've got working at the moment doesn't use save() at all. Forget what save() does. If there is another bizobj which owns the transaction token, calling commitTransaction doesn't do what you expect. Maybe i still did not make it clear in english. Should i try in german?

Re: [dabo-users] Executing stored procedure - how?
Sibylle Koczian wrote:
Hello,
I thought I knew how to execute a stored procedure in a Dabo
application, but that was an error (probable reason: my first working
application uses a SQLite database).
I'm using a temporary cursor, like this, in a method of my bizobj:
def nextMach(self, neubemerk=None):
idst = self.getFieldVal('idst')
gemacht = self.Record.gemacht
crs = self.getTempCursor()
try:
crs.execute('EXECUTE PROCEDURE sp_naechstesmal(?, ?, ?)',
(idst, gemacht, neubemerk))
params=(idst, gemacht, neubemerk)
crs.execute(sqlstr, params)
except dabo.dException.DBQueryException, ex:
dabo.ui.exclaim(str(ex), Keine Termin-Automatik)
self.requery()
The procedure should insert a new record into the table belonging to the
bizobj. The DatabaseActivityLog shows that it is executed, but
afterwards the new record isn't in the table.
Database is Firebird, and I suppose the transaction simply has to be
committed. Is dBizobj.commitTransaction() the right method or is there a
separate commit method for the temporary cursor? And do I need
dBizobj.startTransaction() first?
And is a temporary cursor the right way?
Suppose the database has stored procedures for all inserts, updates,
deletes. How to use that with a Dabo bizobj, which doesn't let me define
my own insert, update, delete statements?
Thank you,
Sibylle
Firebird needs transactions (even for selects)!
In order to get you going i just show how i use a userdefined bizobj method:
class MyBizobj(dabo.biz.dBizobj):
def deleteCurrentRecord(self, startTransaction=True):
cursor = self._CurrentCursor
isTransactionManager = False
if startTransaction:
isTransactionManager = self._getTransactionToken()
if isTransactionManager:
cursor.beginTransaction()
try:
self.delete(startTransaction=False)
if isTransactionManager:
cursor.commitTransaction()
self._releaseTransactionToken()
all_ok = 1
except dException.DBQueryException, e:
if isTransactionManager:
cursor.rollbackTransaction()
self._releaseTransactionToken()
raise dException.DBQueryException, e
except StandardError, e:
if isTransactionManager:
cursor.rollbackTransaction()
self._releaseTransactionToken()
raise StandardError, e
Instead of calling self.delete(startTransaction=False) you will need to
call execute for your stored proc.
It will work for a tempCursor and for the normal cursor, but i would use
a tempCursor.

wxGTK (I'm using openSUSE 11.1)?
I don't know if your bug has to do with the wxGTK version, but
the Packman repos have 2.8.9.2:
http://packman.links2linux.de/package/wxWidgets
Here is what i'm using now:
