Executemany fails on non-insert VALUES statements
Reported by Andrew | October 11th, 2012 @ 02:26 AM
When executemany is called with an SQL string using VALUES keyword outside of an insert statement, psycopg2.4.5 seems to only send one row of values to the server. See example below.
----------query----------
query = """SELECT * FROM (VALUES (%s,%s,%s,%s)) AS table("people","Mitt_Romney",cares,about);"""
cursor.executemany(query,all_americans)
people = cursor.fetchall()
for person in people:
print(person)
----------results----------
('The','Top','One','Percent')
(None, None, None, None)
(None, None, None, None)
(None, None, None, None)
(None, None, None, None)
(None, None, None, None)
(None, None, None, None)
(None, None, None, None)
(None, None, None, None)
(None, None, None, None)
(None, None, None, None)
(None, None, None, None)
(None, None, None, None)

It is surprising that it returns a list of values. executemany shouldn't be called with statements returning rows, only with data manipulation commands: as per DBAPI specs all the results should be discarded.
Looks we build a list as long as the # of records passed, which is bad as they may be a lot. The tuple in the first item is the result of the last statement.
In [11]: cur.executemany("select %s, %s", [(i,i) for i in range(3)]) In [12]: cur.fetchall() Out[12]: [(2, 2), (None, None), (None, None)]We may clean this up a little bit, but the result should be that fetch returns no record after executemany, not that you'll be able to see each query's result.

- State changed from “new” to “resolved”
Fixed in my devel: after executemany() there is no result to fetch on the cursor (we discard the result from the db and save the time to process it into python objects).
