Thanks Vernon & Marc-Andre for your replies. Your suggestion has been
helpful and I am running Microsoft Windows. The following:
from win32com.client import Dispatch
conn = Dispatch(r'ADODB.Connection')
conn.Open("Dsn=xxx;uid=xxx;pwd=xxx")
conn.Execute('create table foo (blah char(30) )')
conn.Execute("insert into foo values('jenny')")
conn.Close()
works and creates a table 'foo'.
However, a simple select results in an error:
from win32com.client import Dispatch
conn = Dispatch(r'ADODB.Connection')
conn.Open("Dsn=xxx;uid=xxx;pwd=xxx")
recset, affected = conn.Execute('select name from tablename')
conn.Close()
>>> recset, affected = conn.Execute('select name from tablename')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<COMObject ADODB.Connection>", line 3, in Execute
File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py",
line 272, in _ApplyTypes_
result = self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(*(dispid, LCID, wFlags,
retType, argTypes) + args)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, None,
None, None, 0, -2147467259), None)
Has anyone who has worked on old, esoteric databases before
encountered a similar problem and solved it?
