Python 2.4.3 with Vertica Database on Linux.
We are migrating from an Informix database to Vertica. We have C code and a lot
of
SQL Stored procedures in our Informix db that are not viable in Vertica. We are
trying
to convert them to Python.
My first questions is:
I am using pyodbc to connect to the Vertica database. When I do a select on
count and
print the result it displays as (for example) 4L (which is the row count plus
the
data type). If I try to use the variable in a conditional it does not work. I
have no idea how
to have data value simply be 4 !
cursor.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) from cv_gls_wkly_misc")
result = cursor.fetchone()
number_of_rows = result[0]
print `number_of_rows
The data display is the (select count(*)) and a selected row.
4L
[(5185L, 93L, Decimal("42.50"), Decimal("50.36"), Decimal("3406.35"),
Decimal("0"), Decimal("78.00"), Decimal("0"), Decimal("66.00"), Decimal("0"),
Decimal("12.73"), Decimal("0"), Decimal("0"), Decimal("311.00"))]
