Hi,
I have a really bad time with the combination of a low-volume service and adbapi.ConnectionPool, pyodbc, FreeTDS and Sybase.
Basically my connections just time out and fail in weird, generic ways like:
Error: ('01000', '[01000] [FreeTDS][SQL Server]Unexpected EOF from the server (20017) (SQLEndTran)')
(but in many others too, there is no real pattern)
Have you tried enabling reconnects (cp_reconnect=True)? If "select 1" doesn't work with your database you may also have to pass in custom cp_good_sql.
In my desperation, I’m employing for-loops for the SQL queries now. :(
Since there isn’t much traffic (yet) I would like to just make ConnectionPool close the connections and re-open fresh ones, as soon as they are necessary.
Is there some straight-forward way to do that? Or any better approach I’ve overlooked?
Don't use ConnectionPool at all. Just have a function that does the SQL connect etc usually normal DB-API, and call it with twisted.internet.threads.deferToThread: def dbTxn(x): conn = db.connect(...) cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute() result = cursor.fetchall() conn.close() return result deferredResult = deferToThread(dbtxn, argForX) -- Itamar Turner-Trauring, Future Foundries LLC http://futurefoundries.com/ — Twisted consulting, training and support.
