create = False

Reported by Psycopg website | October 25th, 2011 @ 12:18 PM

Submitted by: yurj@alfa.it

def getconn(self, create=True):

    conn = pool.getconn(self.dsn)
    conn.set_isolation_level(int(self.tilevel))
    conn.set_client_encoding(self.encoding)
    for tc in self.typecasts:
        register_type(tc, conn)
    return conn

where's the test if create = False. With this code it is impossible to roll back with Zope.

    def getconn(self, create=True):

        conn = pool.getconn(self.dsn)
        if create == False:
         return conn
        conn.set_isolation_level(int(self.tilevel))
        conn.set_client_encoding(self.encoding)
        for tc in self.typecasts:
            register_type(tc, conn)
        return conn
    

    solve the problem.

    Or am I totally wrong? :)

    "create" isn't used at all in that method. What do you mean by "impossible to roll back with Zope". Can you make an example?

    install a fresh zope
    create an adapter instance
    go in "test"
    write a wrong query

    Then, you cannot submit other queries bacause of "current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block" feature.

    I've to restart postgres or zope to submit (only correct) queries.

    adding:

    if create == False:
     return conn
    

    solve the problem. This is because _abort requires the connection and call getconn with create=False. But there's no check in it, so conn.set_isolation_level(int(self.tilevel)) gives an exception because no rollback has been yet submitted.

    yuri,

    could you test the behaviour with the current head version (e.g. you may check it out from the devel branch in https://github.com/dvarrazzo/psycopg/).

    The problem seems created by a bad connection in the pool. I've added a check to rollback connections in transaction and discard broken ones when returned to the pool, so the issue may have already been fixed.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for the fix. I cannot see it, I mean I can understand what has changes. Also github seems to be at 2.4.1 version, and not 2.4.2... I'm not very good with github, can you explain me how I can see the change and how to download the correct version? :)

    "I cannot see it, I mean I can understand what has changes"

    I can't understand, sorry for the mistake.

    No problem:

    git clone git://github.com/dvarrazzo/psycopg.git
    cd psycopg
    git co devel  (it may say you are already on branch devel)
    make
    

    you should have now a compiled version of psycopg in build/lib.2.6 (or whatever you python version is).

    Cheers!

    Sorry: "git co" should be "git checkout". "co" is an alias of mine.

    Hi!

    I've installed it, replaced the path in easyinstall.pth (I don't know if it is important but I did it), modified DA-py to get 2.4.3.dev0 version.

    But the error is always the same, I can't see any change. Can you show me the change? I think the fix above is needed, it has not sense to create a new connection when you abort a transaction. But I'm not aware of how it works so I shut up :)

    make just compiled it, I've run python setup.py build and then install, using the zope python. All seems correct to me.

    The change is this: https://github.com/dvarrazzo/psycopg/commit/a2ee25ecfe600a3d0c5d1ea...

    I think the fix above is needed, it has not sense to create a new connection when you abort a transaction.

    This is not what the patch does. The patch rolls back the connection if it is in transaction/in error, and discards it if broken.

    make just compiled it, I've run python setup.py build and then install, using the zope python.

    Yeah, could do.

    Sorry, I can't help you further: I don't do Zope.

    The problem is in the ZPsycopgDA adapter. Who is responsible of that code?

    I think the fix above is needed, it has not sense to create a new connection when you abort a transaction. This is not what the patch does. The patch rolls back the connection if it is in transaction/in error, and discards it if broken.

    Yes, but the ZPsycopgDA adapter does this:

    def _abort(self, *ignored):
        try:
            conn = self.getconn(False) <-- here It calls getconn
            conn.rollback()
            self.putconn()
        except AttributeError:
            pass
    

    and getconn(False):

    def getconn(self, create=True):
        conn = pool.getconn(self.dsn)
        conn.set_isolation_level(int(self.tilevel)) <---- here the problem
    

    set_isolation_level writes on the connection BEFORE the roolback done in conn.rollback().

    getconn() should honour the False case, just returning the connection and not calling set_isolation_level because it writes on an unrolled postgres error and this gives and error and the rollback/abort is not performed.

    I propose just to add the if create == False check:

    def getconn(self, create=True):

      conn = pool.getconn(self.dsn)
      if create == False:
       return conn
      ...
    

    in the ZPsycopgDA/db.py code.

    Yuri, you're right and your patch is OK. I'll include it for 2.4.3.
