Hello, Based on http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/ticket/435 and a perusal of the source it seems to me that the sqlalchemy fetchall method with cx_Oracle supports retrieving multiple rows of an Oracle table that has CLOBs or BLOBs. I am having troubles though. I am either wrong about sqlalchemy having that feature, I am using it incorrectly or there is perhaps a bug.
Here is a sql script to create a test table and populate the test table: drop table test; create table test (a_clob clob); insert into test (a_clob) values ('This is a test'); insert into test (a_clob) values ('This is another test'); commit; Here is a test script that throws an error when retrieving the rows of CLOBs with a fetchall: #!/usr/bin/python from sqlalchemy import create_engine import cx_Oracle db = create_engine("oracle://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); conn = db.connect() proxy = conn.execute("select a_clob from test"); rows = proxy.fetchall() for i in rows: for j in i.values(): print j Output of script: $ ./clob.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./clob.py", line 13, in ? print j cx_Oracle.ProgrammingError: LOB variable no longer valid after subsequent fetch The fetchone() method works fine as expected, since the LOB is being accessed directly and immediately, for example: #!/usr/bin/python from sqlalchemy import create_engine import cx_Oracle db = create_engine("oracle://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); conn = db.connect() proxy = conn.execute("select a_clob from test"); i = proxy.fetchone() while i != None: for j in i.values(): print j i = proxy.fetchone() Output of run: $ ./clob_fetchone.py This is a test This is another test I have sqlalchemy-0.3.8 installed with cx_Oracle-4.3.1. The Oracle database is 10.2 and the Oracle client installation is 10.2 as well. I'm using python-2.4.3.
