[sqlalchemy] PickleType to use mediumblob

2011-07-18 Thread rajasekhar911
Hi

I want PickleType to use mediumblob instead of blob.
i am trying the following

from sqlalchemy.databases.mysql import MSMediumBlob
class MediumPickle(PickleType):
impl = mysql.MSMediumBlob


class Task(DeclarativeBase):
__tablename__ = 'tasks'

context = Column(MediumPickle)

is this ok or are there any better way to do this?

thnx in advnace

[sqlalchemy] Re: information about filed create_engine

2011-07-18 Thread Eduardo
I dont get any log. The access strings from the local and wsgi
applications are identical so the script should connect to the same
database. I encountered problems with create_engine. What type of
exception can this method throw?
The application catches: TypeError, ValueError and OperationalError.
Is there any other Error or some universal sqlalchemy error that can
indicate me where the problem is?
Thanks

When I use the same script with a standalone application it works

when I try to run it as a wsgi application it fails (wsgi logs

not contain any information regarding the failure!)

   Try turning on SQL logging (either by passing echo='debug') to
   create_engine, or by configuring the python logging package as
  described
   onhttp://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/core/engines.html#configuring-
  logging.
   Then you should see the SQL being issued and the results coming
  back
   from the database.

   How are you configuring transactions? Is it possible that the
   transaction isn't being committed at the end of the web request, so
  any
   changes you've made are being discarded?

   Simon

  My application only queries the database there are no inputs and
  therefore no transactions involved.

 What was the result of turning on SQL logging? Are you sure you're even 
 pointing at the same database that you were when you ran the standalone 
 script? Try printing the value of session.bind.url (or including it in HTTP 
 response, if you don't have easy access to the stdout from your wsgi script)

I'm sorry - I still don't understand your setup. How do you know that
you've encountered problems with create_engine if you're not getting
any kind of exception from it?

If you really think that create_engine is failing but the exception is
being caught silently, why not change your code so that you've got an
exception handler around create_engine:

try:
engine = create_engine(your_connection_string)
except Exception, e:
import traceback
log_file = open('/tmp/sqlalchemy_errors', 'w+')
log_file.write('Exception from create_engine\n')
log_file.write('%s\n' % e)
log_file.write(traceback.format_exc())
raise

But your life would be much easier if you learnt how to configure
SQLAlchemy's built-in logging features:

http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/core/engines.html#configuring-logging

What WSGI server and web framework are you using (if any)? It sounds
like they are hampering your efforts to debug this. You might find it
easier to run a very simple wsgi server such as the one in the wsgiref
module:

http://docs.python.org/library/wsgiref.html#module-wsgiref.simple_server

Yes, I use wsgi server of the python library bottle and I don't have
any problem but when I want to use the same script via the apache web
server I get only a server error no exception could be caught not even
by using the code snippet from you (Thanks by the way). I simply
included many print lines that appear in the error log file. The
create_engine fails (I know it from try and except) but I cannot catch
any exception that sheds some light on the reason of the failure.

If you are getting a generic server error from Apache, you'll normally
find the reason in the Apache error log (the location depends on your
installation, but typically it is something like
/var/log/httpd/error_log. Does that shed any light on the problem?
