Package: python-pymssql Version: 1.0.2+dfsg-1 Severity: important Tags: fixed-upstream
It has been observed by myself and others that pymssql version 1.0.2 has some type of incompatibility with freetdx 0.91, such that in 1.0.x of pymssql when you attempt to fetchone() from a cursor after query execution, you get an object of None back. This means that fetchone and fetchall are both broken and *anything* relying on getting results will be unusable. I've chosen an Important severity, but it's much more likely this needs 'grave' severity. ------ Looking around on the internet for this issue, it was found [1] that getting an upgraded version of pymssql solves the problem completely, and then returns results for fetchone or fetchall. Please, as such, provide an updated version of python-pymssql, using at least version 2.0.1 of the pymssql Python package, which includes fixes for this problem. End-user workaround is to remove the python-pymssql package, and use 'easy_install --upgrade pymssql' or similar to install and compile the pymssql library from source (this necessitates installation of freetdx-dev though). ------ Thomas [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18760286/pymssql-not-returning-result-data
