Here is the test I'm using, if you can tell me how to make it get your results,
then we'd have a better idea what is going on. Below, if you let the
session.query(Foo) run, the error is:
The transaction is inactive due to a rollback in a subtransaction.
Issue rollback() to cancel the transaction.
that's what I mean by unusable.
If OTOH you uncomment the line that uses the engine to do the query, you get:
database contents as follows [(2,)]
which is the row the test inserts and commits before running in the loop. row
(1,) from the loop is not present.
from sqlalchemy import *
from sqlalchemy.orm import *
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
engine = create_engine('sqlite://', echo=True)
all_rows = [
(1,),
(2,),
(3,),
]
Base = declarative_base()
class Foo(Base):
__tablename__ = 'foo'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
Base.metadata.create_all(engine)
Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = Session()
session.add(Foo(id=2))
session.commit()
for row in all_rows:
foo = Foo(id=row[0])
session.add(foo)
try:
session.commit()
except Exception,e:
#roll back, start new session, add rows one by one, raise more specific
error
print '='*10,'\nDEBUG-- encountered error, attempting one-at-a-time commits'
# print 'database contents as follows
%s'%str(engine.execute(Foo.__table__.select()).fetchall())
print 'database contents as follows %s'%str(session.query(Foo).all())
session.rollback()
session.close()
