sqlalchemyflask-sqlalchemydenodo

Is there anyway to connect to a denodo db using flask sqlalchemy?


I'm currently able to connect to the denodo db utilizing a denodo driver that I compiled and use with pyodbc and I can also connect and query the table if I directly use psycopg2. However, it would be ideal if I can utilize Sqlalchemy's ORM. The driver is based on postgresql, but currently sqlalchemy does not support that combination of dialect and DBAPI. This led me to trying the dialect mysql+pyodbc pointing to the driver I compilied as well as trying psycopg2.

I should mention my intention is to perform SELECT statements against only one table within the database.

With mysql+pyodbc I get the error:

qlalchemy.engine.base.Engine.DENODO-READER b"SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set%%'"

Solution

  • From the documentation: “SQLAlchemy is designed to operate with a DBAPI implementation built for a particular database, and includes support for the most popular databases.”

    PostgreSQL MySQL SQLite Oracle Microsoft SQL Server Firebird Sybase There are a number of additional externally supported drivers such as DB2, Snowflake, and redshift. Connecting to Denodo with SQLAlchemy would require developing and maintaining a new dialect. As far as I can tell, there is no support for any jdbc driver.
