some thoughts about server_side_cursors problems whith Postgres #431

Closed sqlalchemy-bot closed 17 years ago

sqlalchemy-bot commented 17 years ago

Issue created by Anonymous

I found difference in client|server cursors behaviour:[BR] client - side cursor fills cursor.description after execute(), and server-side cursor leave description 'None' after execute() until call of fetch...().[BR] I found it both on windows and linux, with postgres 8.1.2 and psycopg 2-2.0.51 (last stable version).[BR] SA looks in cursor description before calling fetch - see base.py line 562.

SA reflection tests fail - no need to make new one.[BR] The problem is with cursor.description.[BR] I will append test of psycopg, which shows difference between local and server cursors. How this test works on your system?[BR] I fooled do_execute() whith fetching one record, scrolling cursor back and assigning description again. Reflection works, but it's very stupid and i got transaction error.

Server-side and client-side cursors different!

i wasnt able to reproduce since my version of psycopg2 didnt actually do server side cursors. we have a patch pending and this ticket is now a dupe of #514.

we have a new ResultProxy called PreFetchingResultProxy, used by oracle. since i dont want to pollute ResultProxy with "stay one step ahead" behavior, might want to implement another variant of ResultProxy that either prefetches the first row, or doesnt try to store cursor metadata until a row has been fetched. what happens if we "insert", and have no rows to fetch ?

how come i cant reproduce any error on my system ? is this a psycopg2/postgres version issue ? do you have an error case (and what versions of everything are you using) ?
