Subject: [DB-SIG] Simple query failure to MS SQL Server Database using mx.ODBC.Wind
 ows
Message-ID: <768D32B675BED311968F009027DE9E3001D00E40@rocky.itc.nrcs.usda.gov>

I am trying to use mx.ODBC.Windows connect to a remote MSSQL database
through my local ODBC data object called OipNcapsData.  I am running Windows
2000 and I downloaded and installed the mxODBC files yesterday.  I can
connect to the database using the same object and successfully run queries
against it using other tools.  I have checked with the database people and I
have permission on the view and tables behind it that I am trying to access.
The following is the python code that shows the error.  After that code is
more code showing another python odbc connection using the same ODBC object
that works.

Please note that unlike the simple win32 odbc module, mxODBC defaults
to transactional mode after a connect. The odbc module goes into
auto-commit mode after a connect.

The error you are seeing seems to be related to some transaction
manager the database is using for managing transactions. Since
the odbc module does use transactions per default, you don't get
the error messages.

The work-around is easy: use the

Fortunately, mxODBC offers to a way to connect in auto-commit
mode as well:

   DriverConnect(DSN_string[, clear_auto_commit=1])

     ...
     If you get an exception during connect telling you that the driver is not capable or does not support transactions, 
e.g. mxODBC.NotSupportedError: ('S1C00', 84, '[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]Driver not capable ', 4226), please try to 
connect with clear_auto_commit set to 0.

db = mx.ODBC.DriverConnect('DSN=OipNcapsData', 0)

should give you the same results as with the odbc module.

However, what you really want is to use transcations (since
they prevent data corruption), so you should ask your DBAs
about the cause of the problem.

Subject: [DB-SIG] ANN: SQLObject 0.3
Message-ID: <1049776345.764.94.camel@lothlorien>

SQLObject 0.3 has been release:
  http://sqlobject.org

Changes
-------

* Automatic table creation based off class.
* Create classes from database.
* Dynamically add and remove columns to live classes and databases.
* anydbm-based backend (queryable database without SQL).
* Better caching.
* Some bugs fixed.

What is it?
-----------

SQLObject is an object-relational mapper.  It allows you to translate
RDBMS table rows into Python objects, and manipulate those objects to
transparently manipulate the database.

SQLObject emphasizes convenience.  It's easy to learn and easy to use,
and doesn't require too much typing or use of any tools outside of your
editor and your Python source.

Release 1.8 is now available at:

As far as I am aware, all outstanding suggestions and requests
are now in there and this may very well be the final release.

Works like a charm... we've been using it on our production systems
for more than two years now.

The only gripe I have is that power failure sometimes crashes the
database indexes (because SAP DB tries to store these in memory).
Fortunately, rebuilding them takes just one admin command and
SAP DB then rebuilds them itself.

Can't really say, postgresql is a fast moving target these days :-)

SAP DB OTOH is a commercial database that happens to be available
as Open Source software. And SAP is putting quite a bit of effort
into supporting it. That sure makes selling it to customers a
lot easier :-)

I'm not sure if this if the correct forum for this topic, but if anyone out there has any advice on how to accomplish this, it would be much appreciated.

I am querying a utf-8 oracle database using the cx_oracle module (thinking of switching to DCOracle2) and trying to display the data in a browser using the Shift_JIS charset. The Japanese characters just show up as '???' though.  I've tried changing the charset via the html meta tags as well as experimented with python's 'unicode' function, but no success.

Why not use ODBC ?

Thats my backup strategy. But it doesn't help me when we move out of 
concept proving and into the project proper on AIX servers.

Why not ? IBM DB2 ships with ODBC for AIX and mxODBC has no problem
accessing DB2 on AIX either (we have a customer who does this in
production).

Subject: [DB-SIG] DCOracle2 selecting with "in" expression
Message-ID: <3E9CF92B.4050209@eb2.net.au>

    We have code that uses DCOracle2 to select records where a column 
value is a member of a set like:

select * from psptx where flag in ('A','D','M')

    which is currently constructed by code similar to

"select * from psptx where flag in (%s)" %
	",".join(listQuoted)

    It would be better to avoid building SQL queries up at runtime for 
the normal reasons including the possibility of unchecked input causing 
security vulnerabilities, so positional or named parameters should be 
used instead.

     Code like

flagList = ('A','D','M')
"select * from psptx where flag in :1", (flagList,)
# or
"select * from psptx where flag in (:a)", a=flagList

    doesn't work. Nor does creating a binding array and passing that as 
the argument.

    Does anyone have some working example code that does this?

You can use the "dtml-sqltest" tag with the "multiple" attribute.

Subject: [DB-SIG] Problem with exception classes
Message-ID: <20030417161803.GX22848@wiggy.net>

I've been using DB-API2 for a while now but have run into a few issues
with respect to portability between different SQL backends. One of those
is the paramstyle, which I'm happy to see might be addressed in DB-API3.

However issue I ran into is exception classes: a lot of my code is
passed a database connectino or a cursor and does not know which backend
it is attached to. However since DB-API2 species that exception types
can only be accesses directly from the driver module that means I can
not perform any exception handling. At the moment I work around this
by using a wrapper that copies the exception classes into the connection
instance (inspired by the MySQLdb module, which does that as well).

Is that something that would be useful to add to DB-API3 as well?

I use a trick to virtualize the database exceptions so that I can catch them
without knowing which backend they come from.

I guess this would be possible :-)

FWIW, mxODBC is exposing the exception
objects on the connection objects as well and it also provides
a .connection attribute on cursors, so passing around cursors
still let's you use exception handling.

Good point; at the moment I am not working with large data sets and
not passing cursors around, so I didn't think of adding something
to a cursor instange. But if you do pass cursors around you need to
be able to get the exception types from the cursor as well.

Nice trick; you basically use a common module which all SQL using
modules can import which defines the exception classes. I'm not
sure if that is workable for a DB-API though, since nothing exists
to provide that common module which defines the exception
types.

True, but it works just fine for my own database abstraction layer and does
not require altering the DB-API specification.

So does my own wrapper
(http://svn.wiggy.net/repository/python-dhm/src/sqlwrap.py in case
anyone is interested). However since there is an interested in making a
DB-API3 I think it would be nice to fix this there.

Message-ID: <20030420135720.99776.qmail@web40807.mail.yahoo.com>

sir,
i have connected to oracle from python through odbc
in windows.

i dont know how do i execute procedures and functions
in through odbc.

can we pass parameters in queries?

can we access results of a query by fieldnames?

how can we change date format so that we can store and
retrieve date in '03-aug-03' format.

thank you in advance,
vishnu

I use cxOracle instead of ODBC; here's some of my wrapper class:

   def setp(self, pm):
     if pm:
       self.out_names = [p[0] for p in pm]
       list = [p[0] + ' = ' + p[1] for p in pm]
       pl = 'self.c.setinputsizes(' + ', '.join(list) + ')'
       return eval(pl)
     else:

     self.outparms = self.setp(outparm)
     self.c.execute(st, **indict)
     return self.getp()

   def getp(self): # return out parameter values
     return [self.outparms[pn].getvalue() for pn in self.out_names]

   def select(self, st, **indict): # ex select statement; fetch results
     try:self.c.execute(st, **indict)
     except cx_Oracle.DatabaseError:return 
traceback.format_exception_only(sys.exc_info()[0],sys.exc_info()[1])
     return self.c.fetchall()

conn - Oracle('asdf/asdf@asdf')

>how do I execute procedures and functions

x = conn.exp("declare p number; begin :p := 3; end;", 
[['p','cx_Oracle.NUMBER']])

It has been a while since I've worked with this code, so I'm not 100% sure 
of it,but I think with a little fiddling you could get it to work.

>can we pass parameters in queries?

sql = "select * from PER_PERSON_ANALYSES where person_id = :p1 and 
id_flex_num = :p2 "
x = conn.select(sql, person_id, id_flex_num)

I think that x now is a list of result rows.

>can we access results of a query by fieldnames?

You'd have to create your own map.

>how can we change date format so that we can store and retrieve date in 
>'03-aug-03' format.

I think you can use the oracle DATE function to convert date formats.

Subject: [DB-SIG] Sybase module 0.36 released
Message-ID: <m3y91wjfxq.fsf@ferret.object-craft.com.au>

WHAT IS IT:

The Sybase module provides a Python interface to the Sybase relational
database system.  It supports all of the Python Database API, version
2.0 with extensions.

NOTES:

This is another incremental improvement to FreeTDS support.

You can build for FreeTDS like this:

     python setup.py build_ext -D HAVE_FREETDS -U WANT_BULKCOPY
     python setup.py install

If you are using FreeTDS 0.60 or 0.61 change the compile command to:

     python setup.py build_ext -D HAVE_FREETDS=60 -U WANT_BULKCOPY

or
     python setup.py build_ext -D HAVE_FREETDS=61 -U WANT_BULKCOPY


The module is available here:

    http://www.object-craft.com.au/projects/sybase/download/sybase-0.36.tar.gz

The module home page is here:

    http://www.object-craft.com.au/projects/sybase/

CHANGES SINCE 0.36pre6:

* Output parameters from stored procedures are supported via the
  OUTPUT() function.  The parameter to OUTPUT() determines the type
  and size of the buffer which will be allocated to receive the output
  value.

    c.callproc('test_proc', {'@type': 'business',
                             '@tot_sales': 5,
                             '@num_books': Sybase.OUTPUT(1)})

* Added Time() and TimeFromTicks() DB API functions.

* Fixed fmx.maxlength typo.

* Reorganised result fetching to use "fetcher" classes; _FetchNow,
  _FetchNowParams, and _FetchLazy.  This was in response to testing
  against the Python DB API 2.0 Anal Compliance Unit Test.

CHANGES SINCE 0.35:

* Fixed bug in ctx.c:ct_con_drop() which caused SEGFAULT with
  FreeTDS.

* Export version of FreeTDS used in sybasect.__have_freetds__

* Set Sybase._ctx as the global context soon as in Sybase.py to
  avoid problems with undefined global ctx.

* Look for SYBASE_OCS on all platforms.

* Fixed spelling error in ctx.c:global_ctx().

* Fixed cursor locking bug with .nextset() method.

* Added .debug_msg() method to context type which writes to the debug
  log when debugging is enabled for the context object.

* Merged AIX build changes from Dietmar Rothkamp.

* Now compiles with FreeTDS 0.61.

* Limit size of TEXT fields to 65536.

* Removed references to CS_PENDING and CS_BUSY in Sybase.py.

* Bind CS_VARBINARY_TYPE as CS_BINARY_TYPE.

* Do not attempt to ct_cancel() when handling an exception if have not
  connected to the server.  Bug fix in Sybase.py.

* Seems like FreeTDS reports the wrong maxlength in ct_describe() for
  CS_NUMERIC_TYPE and CS_DECIMAL_TYPE.  Ignore FreeTDS and assume a
  maxlength of sizeof(CS_NUMERIC).  Bugfix in databuf.c.

* Use correct T_STRING_INPLACE type in structure member descriptions.
  The code does not use Python API for these members.

* Debug output for DataFmt now includes scale and precision.

* More definitions added to freetds.h; CS_SRC_VALUE, CS_CLEAR.
