What I really wanted to do was connect to an existing postgres database and
read/display the data, but I kept getting this error: ValueError: invalid
literal for int() with base 10: 'SELECT'
I've pared down to some stupidly simple code that works with sqlite, but
when I change to use my postgres database, I still get that error!
This is what I have:
*db.py*: Just create a table called mydata with one field of type string.
For this example I'm trying, table mydata does not yet exist in my postgres
db.
db = DAL('postgres://dbuser:dbu...@xxx.xx.xxx.xx/erinstest',pool_size=1,
check_reserved=['all'])
#db = DAL('sqlite://storage.sqlite',pool_size=1,check_reserved=['all'])
db.define_table('mydata',
Field('det_data_type', 'string', length=32))
*default.py*: Insert something into the mydata table and query/return
everything from the table.
def index():
response.flash = T("Welcome to web2py!")
db.mydata.insert(det_data_type="type1")
pkts = db().select(db.mydata.ALL)
return dict(pkts=pkts)
*default/index.html*: Display each of the results from the query of the
mydata table.
{{ for pkt in pkts: }}
{{=pkt.id}}
{{=pkt.det_data_type}}
{{pass}}
When I run this, the mydata table is created in my postgres database (so I
assume my connection is working at least somewhat correctly), but nothing
is inserted into it and the ValueError comes up. After doing this, I also
tried inserting something into the table (outside of web2py) and then
commented out the line in default.py that inserts into the table to see if
I could just display what was in mydata table. Same error. What am I
doing wrong?
I am using web2py v2.4.6 and postgres 8.4.13.
