[DB-SIG] DBAPI-2.0 clarifications

[Federico Di Gregorio]

hi,

	ok, i'll send you patches to the dbapi document to better clarify
the "obscure points" (no offense intended to you as the editor ;). just
a last comment, in your first answer to my original posting you said:

  Multiple result sets refer to the output format and only comes
  into play for stored procedure which may return multiple result
  sets. .nextset() then switches to the next available result set.

now, this is a little different from:

> I think the docs on .nextset() are clear about this. .fetchXXX()
> APIs only work on the current result set and a call .nextset()
> advances to the next available result set.

the first seems to imply that .nextset() does not apply to the results
of an .executemany() but only to the result sets generated by a stored
procedure called via .callproc(). your example below tells the opposite.
can i take the example as the right thing and send you a patch to the
dbapi document for this one too?

> cursor.execute('select * from mytable where id = ?', [(1,), (2,)])
         ^^^^^^^
executemany(), right?

> resultsets = []
> while 1:
>     resultsets.append(cursor.fetchall())
>     if not cursor.nextset():
>         break
> 
> resultsets ... [[(1,'first')], [(2,'second')]]

thank you very much,
federico
