Cool, that worked thanks a lot!!

Here is what I was doing:

Python 2.4.2 (#1, Apr 17 2006, 10:52:22)
[GCC 3.4.3 20050227 (Red Hat 3.4.3-22.1)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pg
>>>
>>> db = pg.connect('test', 'localhost', 5432, None, None, 'dbadmin', None)
>>> db.get_tables()
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: get_tables
>>>
>>> db.query("select count(*) from final")
count
-----
28
(1 row)


>>>


So I was a little confused about the command syntax and params. I got the above connection sample off the pygresql.org site, and since the query worked I was lost when the get_ functionality was not available.

Anyhow thanks for the help!

I have a few questions regarding the PyGreSql module. I'm new to python so pardon my lack of knowledge. When trying to use any of the "get_" functions (get_databases, get_tables) I receive an "AttributeError". Same thing with "inserttable". Wondering if someone could post a quick example including creation of a database connection and executing the above three functions. I suspect my syntax is off because I can successfully connect to and query from my database, but I can not find any syntactical examples anywhere to confirm my suspicion.


Hi Taso,

here is a Python session you can try out (you can create an empty database for testing with "createdb mydb"):

------

python

>>> from pg import DB
>>> db = DB('mydb')
>>> db.get_databases()

['template0', 'template1', 'mydb']

>>> db.query('create table mytable (n integer, t text)')
>>> db.get_tables()

['public.mytable']

>>> db.inserttable('mytable', [(1, 'hello'), (2, 'world')])

>>> db.query('select * from mytable').getresult()

[(1, 'hello'), (2, 'world')]

>>> db.get('mytable', 2, 'n')

{'n': 2, 't': 'world', 'oid(public.mytable)': ...}

------

Hope that helps.
