I wrote a script with this sort of logic in order to insert many records
into a PostgreSQL table as they are generated.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import asyncio
from concurrent.futures import ProcessPoolExecutor as pool
from functools import partial
import sqlalchemy as sa
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
metadata = sa.MetaData(schema='stackoverflow')
Base = declarative_base(metadata=metadata)
class Example(Base):
__tablename__ = 'example'
pk = sa.Column(sa.Integer, primary_key=True)
text = sa.Column(sa.Text)
sa.event.listen(Base.metadata, 'before_create',
sa.DDL('CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS stackoverflow'))
engine = sa.create_engine(
'postgresql+psycopg2://postgres:password@localhost:5432/stackoverflow'
)
Base.metadata.create_all(engine)
session = sa.orm.sessionmaker(bind=engine, autocommit=True)()
def task(value):
engine.dispose()
with session.begin():
session.add(Example(text=value))
async def infinite_task(loop):
spawn_task = partial(loop.run_in_executor, None, task)
while True:
await asyncio.wait([spawn_task(value) for value in range(10000)])
def main():
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
with pool() as executor:
loop.set_default_executor(executor)
asyncio.ensure_future(infinite_task(loop))
loop.run_forever()
loop.close()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
This code works just fine, creating a pool of as many processes as I have
CPU cores, and happily chugging along forever. I wanted to see how threads
would compare to processes, but I could not get a working example. Here are
the changes I made:
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor as pool
session_maker = sa.orm.sessionmaker(bind=engine, autocommit=True)
Session = sa.orm.scoped_session(session_maker)
def task(value):
engine.dispose()
# create new session per thread
session = Session()
with session.begin():
session.add(Example(text=value))
# remove session once the work is done
Session.remove()
This version runs for a while before a flood of "too many clients"
exceptions:
sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (psycopg2.OperationalError) FATAL: sorry, too
many clients already

What's causing the problem?
