HI everyone,

I'm trying to use sqlalchemy (0.9.10) to retrieve the number of rows of table in PostgreSQL, here a stub of the code:

I'd highly recommend using psycopg2 as this error is a pg8000-specific quirk. to work around otherwise, you'd need to say func.count(literal_column('*')).





import sqlalchemy
from sqlalchemy import select, create_engine, MetaData, Table, Column
import datetime

engine = create_engine('postgresql+pg8000://postgres:password@localhost/mydb')
metadata = MetaData(engine)
tab = Table('test', metadata,
    Column('c1', sqlalchemy.INTEGER)
)
tab.create()
tab.insert().values(c1=123456).execute()
res = select([sqlalchemy.func.count('*')], None, from_obj=[tab]).execute().fetchall()
print res

And here is the error I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

It seems that somehow the query is not formatted correctly....any hint?
Thanks in advance!
