I'm working with a Postgresql database with Django. Because of licensing reasons, I can't use psycopg2 , so I'm using the alternative pygresql.
I don't need to use the Django ORM at all, I simply need the cursor for cur.execute() and cur.fetchall(). Since pygresql doesn't have a Django backend connector, I can't use the pygresql pgdb module in the Database settings in settings.py; I've to manually open up a connection object. What would be the best practice to do this? Currently I've simply created the connection object conn=pgdb.connect(params) in views.py outside of all functions, but this seems a bit hacky and I do get 'ProgrammingError: Server Closed the connection unexpectedly' errors here and there. One approach might be to simply create an executeQuery() function which Opens a connection, executes a query, and closes it each time I want to execute a query. But I'm not sure if that's best practice and whether it would cause any issues. Any tips? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
