bug in Table.select() ?! (AttributeError: 'Connection' object has no attribute 'compiler')

[Former user]

hi guys!!

I am just checking out SQLAlchemy, but I don't get far because of a bug(??). my system: 0.2.5 (release), postgres (8.1), psycopg2/2.0.2, Linux 2.6.17.3 SMP, Debian

What I did:

$ python

from sqlalchemy import *

en = create_engine('postgres://bladf:[e-mail]:5432/mydb')

db = en.connnect()

md = BoundMetaData(db)

table1 = Table('meta_document',md,autoload=True)

s = table1.select()

s

<sqlalchemy.sql.Select object at 0xb7885bcc>

print s

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/sqlalchemy/sql.py", line 511, in str

File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/sqlalchemy/sql.py", line 502, in compile

AttributeError: 'Connection' object has no attribute 'compiler'

s.execute()

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/sqlalchemy/sql.py", line 514, in execute

File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/sqlalchemy/sql.py", line 468, in execute_using

File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/sqlalchemy/sql.py", line 500, in compile

AttributeError: 'Connection' object has no attribute 'compiler'

hmm, did I do something wrong, or is this a bug? how can I fix it asap, because I would like to use sqlalchemy in a project ...

thanks for your help!!!

hey there -

BoundMetaData is made against an Engine, not a Connection:

from sqlalchemy import *

en = create_engine('postgres://bladf:[e-mail]:5432/mydb')

md = BoundMetaData(en)

table1 = Table('meta_document',md,autoload=True)

thanks for your interest, and good luck !
