I'm trying to access a MaxDB 7.6 instance via python (2.5, see my other post). Since I expect there to be connection timeouts in my application, I need to make sure that a disconnected connection reconnects when needed.
According to the documentation, and the python DB-API 2.0 spec, issuing a query over a connection that has become disconnected should raise an OperationalError exception (or a CommunicationError when using sapdb.sql instead of maxdb.dbapi). In my experience, which I gained by setting the connection timeout to 31 seconds (the lowest value permitted), connecting to the database, waiting until the session disappeared from the DBM and then sending a query, that doesn't happen. Instead I get a ProgrammingError via DB-API and an SQLError from sapdb.sql. What am I doing wrong? If I get what amounts to a syntax error, how can I know what actually happened? -- Christian Ullrich . E-Mails sollten Text sein, Text und nur Text. .
