can you let me know the specific point version of MySQL, I notice we have several transaction-related directives that are disabled for versions < 3.23.15.

Here's a simple patch you can try: diff -r c72dc70dba37 lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/mysql/base.py --- a/lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/mysql/base.py Sun Sep 16 21:15:55 2012 -0400 +++ b/lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/mysql/base.py Mon Sep 17 08:57:51 2012 -0400 @@ -1872,6 +1872,8 @@ cursor.close() def get_isolation_level(self, connection): + if self.server_version_info < (3, 23, 15): + raise NotImplementedError() cursor = connection.cursor() cursor.execute('SELECT @@tx_isolation') val = cursor.fetchone()[0] > > Best regards, > Ids > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sqlalchemy" group. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sqlalchemy/-/uJQPXujgUCEJ. > To post to this group, send email to sqlalchemy@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > sqlalchemy+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sqlalchemy?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
