Is there a way to use a pyodbc connection without a dialect? I'd prefer to
not have to create a custom dialect to talk to my Teradata server as I have
gotten pyodbc to work well. Seems like since ODBC is a standard that I
might be able to get enough functionality out of it. Is this even
possible?
I've been trying something like
import pyodbc
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
def getconn()
pyodbc.pooling = False # required or Teradata ODBC dumps
return pyodbc.connect('DSN=tdprod')
engine = create_engine('pyodbc://tdprod', creator=getconn)
Barring that working which seems unlikely since I can't find any working
examples, I have started stubbing out a very simple Teradata dialect but I
can't figure out how to manually set pyodbc.pooling = False. This is
required as the TD ODBC driver will core dump on connect if this isn't set.
I've tried the following in the my pyodbc.py my dialect but on testing it
core dumps indicating the value isn't being set.
Here is the pyodbc.py for my TD dialect. I'm trying to control pooling in
two different ways in this example but neither works:
import pyodbc
from .base import TeradataDialect, TeradataExecutionContext
from sqlalchemy.connectors.pyodbc import PyODBCConnector
pyodbc.pooling = False
class TeradataExecutionContext_pyodbc(TeradataExecutionContext):
pass
class TeradataDialect_pyodbc(PyODBCConnector, TeradataDialect):
execution_ctx_cls = TeradataExecutionContext_pyodbc
pyodbc_driver_name = 'Teradata'
def initialize(self, connection):
# Teradata requires pooling off for pyodbc
super(TeradataDialect_pyodbc, self).initialize(connection)
self.dbapi.pooling = False
dialect = TeradataDialect_pyodbc
Here is the output of the test:
metl@ichabod:~/src/etl/util/sqlalchemy/dialects/teradata$ python
run_tests.py
nose.plugins.cover: ERROR: Coverage not available: unable to import
coverage module
Fatal Python error: Unable to set SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_POOLING attribute.
Aborted (core dumped)
The Fatal Python error is the same error I get if I attempt to connect to
my Teradata database via pyodbc without first setting pooling = False. Any
help would be appreciated.
