this bug is fixed in changeset 1614. youre still going to get an exception, but the extra rollback() youre doing wont fail so youll be able to see what the real exception is. > a.

Can different sessions participate in the same transaction ? if it makes you feel any better, no this is not documented at all and it wasnt obvious to me what the answer is. anyway, yes it can sort of do this but its not particularly simple, as this use case was not considered with the current API . if you use an engine with "strategy='threadlocal'" its easier (but then, more mysterious), or if you monkey around with multiple SessionTransactions and point them all to the same Connection...but if youre already confused then this is going to be even more confusing. why do you need multiple sessions in one transaction ? _______________________________________________ Sqlalchemy-users mailing list Sqlalchemy-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sqlalchemy-users
