Hi again,
Yes, we thought that might be the case. We tried changing the
isolation level on this connection to snapshot. Now I'm getting
different errors, and more frequent.
One error I get is this:
AttributeError:
before I read the next 10 replies in this thread, this seems like an issue
of too high of a transaction isolation level going on (something that
plagued my SQL server apps when i was writing them, though that was years
ago). cant the connection itself have a more lenient isolation level set
?
Pymssql, or adodbapi? Client-side cursors, or Server-side?
We use pymssql here over FreeTDS with SQL Server 2005 here without
issues. If your DBA suggests with (nolock), I'm assuming that you're
seeing some sort of persistent table/page locks?
Can you give a bit more info?

Pymssql and client side cursors (I guess, I'm just issuing plain
select statements, no stored procs or such).

Pymssql runs on top of the ancient library DB-lib, which has real
issues with not fully reading all query results -- make sure all your
query results are fully consumed, i.e. read them into a list and the

Ok. Should I rather be using adodbapi then?

If you're using FreeTDS, I assume you're on some kind of Unix. As far
as I know, adodbapi is Windows-only (anyway, it has its own set of
idiosyncrasies too).

Yeah sorry, I should have caught that.
On the pymssql vs. adodbapi, the answer is not an easy question, and
is quite a mixed bag.
MS supports ADO (at least for now), and no longer supports DB-Lib, so
from that standpoint adodbapi would be the way to go, at least as
regards the toolchain from
