I'm trying to connect to Vertica as a regular ODBC DSN, which I can do
fine outside of sqlalchemy:
$ isql -v pod
+---------------------------------------+
| Connected! |
| |
| sql-statement |
| help [tablename] |
| quit |
| |
+---------------------------------------+
SQL>
In [4]: pyodbc.connect('DSN=pod', ansi=True)
Out[4]: <pyodbc.Connection at 0x18f0440>
In [6]: con.execute('select 1')
Out[6]: <pyodbc.Cursor at 0x18e8c90>
How do I get sqlalchemy to connect? It speaks a Postgresql-like
dialect (since it's a fork of PG); I have installed vertica-sqlalchemy
which provides this dialect. However, I'm confused because there's no
way to just specify a DSN to sqlalchemy (not even getting to the
dialect-using stage of connection). Whatever strings I try, I get:
DBAPIError: (Error) ('IM002', '[IM002] [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data
source name not found, and no default driver specified (0)
(SQLDriverConnect)') None None
The /etc/odbc.ini is pretty simple:
[ODBC Data Sources]
pod = "the pod database"
[pod]
Driver = /opt/vertica/lib64/libverticaodbc.so
Servername = localhost
Database = pod
Port = 15433
UserName = dbadmin
Password = ...
I've been wrestling with this for a good part of the day. Any hints
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
