[sqlalchemy] Mention special meaning of pool_size=0 and recommend NullPool in documentation of pool_size parameters.

2010-06-18 Thread John Keith Hohm
I reopened http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/ticket/1164, and added a
documentation-only patch, after spending some time trying to figure
out the same behavior as stumped the original submitter.  I hope
that's appropriate.

[sqlalchemy] Re: executing stored procedure which returns rows

2008-02-18 Thread John Keith Hohm

 select * from (procedure_foo)

  That would be lovely, but I can find no way to wrap a procedure in a
  select.  If it were possible I could have just rewritten the procedure
  call as a select and matched the existing regexp.

 you can do that as select([*]).select_from(func.procedure.foo()) .

Thanks, I understand that that will generate SELECT * FROM
procedure_foo(); the trouble is that SQL Server does not permit
selecting from procedures in that way.  Happily, though, I realized I
can create a table-valued function that executes the procedure, and I
can select from the table-valued function in this way.

 Stored procedures can also be called simply by name, omitting the EXEC:

 EXEC procedure_foo parms
   or
 procedure_foo  parms

True, but as you suggested it's hardly a burden to type the EXEC.

 and I believe they can also be called from within a subquery:

 select * from (procedure_foo)

That would be lovely, but I can find no way to wrap a procedure in a
select.  If it were possible I could have just rewritten the procedure
call as a select and matched the existing regexp.

[sqlalchemy] Re: executing stored procedure which returns rows

2008-02-14 Thread John Keith Hohm

  I think we should also add a flag to text() which allows this too,
  along the lines of returns_results=True.

 +1 on that, it would be useful as a fallback for those oddball situations.

Indeed, Microsoft SQL Server interprets myriad bespoke SQL
constructs which return results.  Perhaps the
MSSQLDialect.reflecttable() implementation should use the flag itself
rather than special-case the regexp for sp_columns.  Or it could just
use EXEC presuming it is added to the regexp.

[sqlalchemy] executing stored procedure which returns rows

2008-02-13 Thread John Keith Hohm

I'm using and loving SQLAlchemy 0.4.3dev_r4136 but I am having a
problem with (drum roll) a legacy database schema.  I'm using pyodbc
on Unix.

The primary keys in a legacy table are alphanumeric and must be
generated by a MSSQL stored procedure which returns a single result
row with a single unnamed char(12).  How can I execute this procedure
with SQLAlchemy?

I tried the obvious session.execute(EXEC sp_new_foo_key).fetchone()
and variations with text() and select() but I always get this error:

class 'pyodbc.ProgrammingError': Attempt to use a closed cursor.

The typemap argument to text() looked like it might do what I need,
but I don't see how to use it with the unnamed result column, and I'm
not sure it would actually result in the correct execution method.

I gather this is because the mssql dialect implements
returns_rows_text() as a regexp matching just SELECT and sp_columns.
SQL Server Profiler shows the statement being executed from SQLAlchemy
as an RPC instead of a SQL batch like when I do the EXEC from SQL
Server Management Studio.

[sqlalchemy] Re: executing stored procedure which returns rows

2008-02-13 Thread John Keith Hohm

   I'm using pyodbc on Unix.

 blink You are???

 This statement jumped out of the message for me. Can you please describe
 your setup to the list? There is a lot of interest in this configuration.

I am using unixodbc-2.2.11 as packaged by Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) with
locally-installed freetds-0.64 (the tdsodbc Ubuntu package was 0.63
and had issues with SQL Server 2005) and locally-installed
pyodbc-2.0.52.  I configured the server with tds version = 8.0 in /etc/
freetds/freetds.conf, defined the FreeTDS driver in /etc/odbcinst.ini,
and the DSN in /etc/odbc.ini; it works fine once I figured out the URL
needs to look like mssql://myuser:mypass@/mydbname?dsn=DSN_FROM_ODBCINI
(note the slash after the at symbol).

I know the documentation suggests this is not reliable, but I haven't
had any problems that I would attribute to pyodbc.
