The latest data cannot be queried when I use the pool

[lastshusheng]

When I use the connection pool, I add or modify data to the database, and then get a connection from the connection pool to query. The resulting data is still old data. like this:

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
async def go():
    pool = await aiomysql.create_pool(host='127.0.0.1', port=3306,
                                           user='root', password='xxx',
                                           db='study', loop=loop)
    while True:
        await asyncio.sleep(2)
        async with pool.acquire() as conn:  # type: aiomysql.Connection
            async with conn.cursor() as cur:
                await cur.execute("SELECT nickname FROM tb_user ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1")
                # print(cur.description)
                (r,) = await cur.fetchone()
        print(r)
        print(pool.size)

loop.run_until_complete(go())

When I change the way I write it he can normally query the new data. like this:

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
async def go():
    pool = await aiomysql.create_pool(host='127.0.0.1', port=3306,
                                           user='root', password='xxx',
                                           db='study', loop=loop)
    while True:
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
        async with await pool.acquire() as conn:  # type: aiomysql.Connection
            async with conn.cursor() as cur:
                await cur.execute("SELECT nickname FROM tb_user ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1")
                # print(cur.description)
                (r,) = await cur.fetchone()
        pool.release(conn)
        print(r)
        print(pool.size)

loop.run_until_complete(go())

But then I got a warning:

An open stream object is being garbage collected; call "stream.close()" explicitly.

I don't know how to get real-time update data from the database in the connection pool normally.

@lastshusheng i guess this is a bug, i tested, and found a solution

whenever you get a connection instance you can call its select_db api, whether you provide db option at initiallization

the code below is an example

import asyncio
import time
import aiomysql

db_config = {
    'host': 'localhost',
    'port': 32769,
    'user': 'root',
    'password': 'password here',
    'db': 'db name'
}

query_timeout = 10

async def main():
    start_time = time.time()
    my_pool = await aiomysql.create_pool(**db_config)
    while True:
        if time.time() - start_time > query_timeout:
            break
        my_conn = await my_pool.acquire()
        # use select_db here, important can get the latest data from db
        await my_conn.select_db('tdb')
        my_cursor = await my_conn.cursor()

        await my_cursor.execute("select * from tb_users")
        fetch_result = await my_cursor.fetchall()
        print(fetch_result)
        await my_cursor.close()
        my_pool.release(my_conn)
        await asyncio.sleep(2)

    my_pool.close()
    await my_pool.wait_closed()

async def main2():
    start_time = time.time()
    my_pool = await aiomysql.create_pool(**db_config)
    while True:
        if time.time() - start_time > query_timeout:
            break
        async with my_pool.acquire() as my_conn:
            # use select_db here, important can get the latest data from db
            await my_conn.select_db('tdb')
            async with my_conn.cursor() as my_cursor:
                await my_cursor.execute("select * from tb_users")
                fetch_result = await my_cursor.fetchall()
                print(fetch_result)
        await asyncio.sleep(2)
    my_pool.close()
    await my_pool.wait_closed()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main2())

you can copy and paste it and test it, i hope can help you

[lastshusheng]

@suiyuex thanks for your anwser I tried with your anwser, but i still got a warning. The difference is that not every time there's a warning, a warning is given each time the loop executes the second time, my print likes this:

Co用户-cQ6m
1 

An open stream object is being garbage collected; call "stream.close()" explicitly.
Co用户-cQ6m
0 

Co用户-cQ6m
1 

An open stream object is being garbage collected; call "stream.close()" explicitly.
Co用户-cQ6m
0 

And my script likes this:

pool = await aiomysql.create_pool(host=host, port=port, user=user, password=password, loop=loop)
while True:
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    async with pool.acquire() as conn:  # type: aiomysql.Connection
        await conn.select_db('study')
        async with conn.cursor() as cur:
            await cur.execute("SELECT nickname FROM tb_user ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1")
            (r,) = await cur.fetchone()
    print(r)
    print(pool.size, '\n')

This warning appears when I use python3.8, with python3.7 that not appear

[suiyuex]

@lastshusheng I ran the code you provided, But there is no warning message

my code like this

import asyncio
import time
import aiomysql

db_config = {
    'host': 'localhost',
    'port': 32769,
    'user': 'root',
    'password': '*',
}
query_timeout = 10

async def main2():
    start_time = time.time()
    my_pool = await aiomysql.create_pool(**db_config)
    while True:
        if time.time() - start_time > query_timeout:
            break
        async with my_pool.acquire() as my_conn:
            # use select_db here, important can get the latest data from db
            await my_conn.select_db('tdb')
            async with my_conn.cursor() as my_cursor:
                await my_cursor.execute("select name from tb_users order by age desc limit 10")
                r = await my_cursor.fetchone()
        print(r)
        print(my_pool.size, '\n')
        await asyncio.sleep(2)
    my_pool.close()
    await my_pool.wait_closed()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main2())

this is output

my python version is 3.8.5 (tags/v3.8.5:580fbb0, Jul 20 2020, 15:57:54) [MSC v.1924 64 bit (AMD64)]

This puzzles me, and im not sure what caused it, maybe mysql version and im mysql version is

+-----------+
| version() |
+-----------+
| 8.0.21    |
+-----------+

😵😵😵

but, Can you get the latest data using that method provided above?

[lastshusheng]

@suiyuex I can get the latest data when i used select_db api. This warning probably only a bug in python3.8.0. I used aiomysql in my django project instead of the synchronized ORM, but when I saw this warning I was worried about a memory leak online, in your opinion, will this happen? Finally, Chinese？

[suiyuex]

@lastshusheng do not worry, This will not cause memory leak, According to the warning message，that stream has been recycled by the garbage collection mechanism，so that is destroyed！yes ，Im Chinese。

[matthewswain]

It looks like you aren't setting "autocommit": True in your db_config. I think this means your select statements will be opening implicit transactions. When a connection is reused, it has an open transaction from the previous query, so it doesn't see the new data.

[lastshusheng]

transaction

@matthewswain Thanks,i have tried it and it worked. I don't know transaction will affect the select statement. I was so stupid.

[rs-blashyrkh]

Setting the proper transaction isolation level in every brand new connection helped me. Actually, I wrapped connection into my class with __aenter__ and __aexit__, and perform the query inside my __aenter__. Something like this:

        async def __aenter__(self):
            self.context = self.conn_pool.acquire()
            self.conn = await self.context.__aenter__()
            async with self.conn.cursor() as cur:
                await cur.execute("SET SESSION TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED;")
            return self

        async def __aexit__(self, *args):
            return await self.context.__aexit__(*args)
