I am trying to insert records to a mysql database via python using the
sqlalchemy package.
I have columns that are datetime type in mysql that already have data of
the following format:
2013-04-03 00:05:00-05:00'
Note this is produced by the pytz module in python. I had no problem
loading 600,000 rows with datetime stamps with the exact same format
through the mysql console using the load table inline <file_name> command.
This tells my that mysql is capable of accepting the format shown above.
This is as per mysql's documentation:
The DATETIME type is used for values that contain both date and time parts.
MySQL
retrieves and displays DATETIME values in 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' format. The
supported
range is '1000-01-01 00:00:00' to '9999-12-31 23:59:59'.
The thing is the pytz module provides information on the time zone, which I
need. I actually have 4 columns (EST, UTC, EST/EDT and CST/CDT) so all have
their time zone information embedded in the datetime stamp.
Note I am not using a custom INSERT query. This is the default way
sqlalchemy performs an insert many:
The function that performs the insert looks like so:
def insert_data(data_2_insert, table_name):
# Connect to database using SQLAlchemy's create_engine()
engine = create_engine('mysql://blah:blah@localhost/db_name')
# Metadata is a Table catalog.
metadata = MetaData()
my_table = Table(table_name, metadata, autoload=True, autoload_with=engine)
column_names = tuple(c.name for c in my_table.c)
final_data = [dict(zip(column_names, x)) for x in data_2_insert]
ins = my_table.insert()
conn = engine.connect()
conn.execute(ins, final_data)
conn.close()
Traceback (most recent call last):
