turning on echo=True inside create_engine() will show you what queries are emitted as they occur so you can see which ones are taking long and/or hanging.

Upon re-reading some of the docs, I realized that my problem may still
be that initial connection. The create-engine doesn't actually
*connect* to the database, it just sets things up. That means that my
actual connection happens later, when I try to reflect or use automap.
When that happens, the connection starts up and the script hangs. I'm
no closer to solving this, and would love to hear anyone's thoughts,
but at least I know that my thought of blaming reflect/automap is
likely incorrect.

Hi list,
Sorry for all the emails. I've determined that my script is actually
connecting to the 400's test database. At least, a print statement
placed just after the create_engine call is printing, so I guess we're
good there.

What I'm running into now is unresponsiveness when I try to reflect or
automap the database so I can do some basic queries. As soon as I call
either
automap.prepare(dbEngine, reflect=True)
or
metadata = MetaData()
metadata.reflect(dbEngine, only=['tableName'])

the script stops, hanging there with no response at all. The same
thing happened when I was trying to use an inspector on the engine.
It's an AS400, so taking a few seconds is a very long time for it.
This is being left to run for minutes and isn't doing anything. What,
if anything did I do wrong syntactically? Is there a better way to
check that my engine is actually ready to go, or some other check I
should be making? The full script, minus anything sensitive, is below.

import globals
import logging
from sqlalchemy import *
from sqlalchemy.engine import reflection
from sqlalchemy.ext.automap import automap_base
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker

logger = logging.getLogger(globals.appName+"."+__name__)

#set up the sqlalchemy objects
logger.debug("Creating database engine, base, and session.")
dbEngine =
create_engine("ibm_db_sa://"+user+":"+pwd+"@"+server+":"+port+"/"+dbName)
print "connected"
Session = sessionmaker(bind = dbEngine) #note that's a capital s on Session
session = Session() #lowercase s
metadata = MetaData()
logger.debug("Creating session.")
print "Creating automap base"
base = automap_base()
print "setting up automapping"
#base.prepare(dbEngine, reflect=True)
metadata.reflect(dbEngine, only=['tableName'])

def getOrderByNumber(orderID):
  orders = base.classes.ORHED
  order = session.query(orders).filter(orders.OAORNO==orderID).first()
  print order.OAORNO
#end def getOrderByNumber

getOrderByNumber("AA111")
