I am using pyodbc
to connect to a database and extract certain data from it.
Here is my code:
con = pyodbc.connect("driver={SQL Server};server= MyServer;database= MyDatabase;trusted_connection=true") cursor = con.cursor() SQL_command = """ SELECT RowID = ISNULL ( ( SELECT TOP 1 RowID FROM [MyDatabase].[admin].[MyTable] WHERE [queue] = ? and processed IS NULL ) ,-1 ) """ cursor.execute(SQL_command, queueNumber) cursor.commit() con.commit() result_set = cursor.fetchall()
And I got following error after I run above code:
pyodbc.Error: (‘HY010’, ‘[HY010] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Function sequence error (0) (SQLFetch)’)
May I know what caused such problem, and how can I fix it?
Thanks.

I believe your problem is the strange commit
statements. You only need to commit
when inserting or updating records not selecting.
cursor.execute(SQL_command, queueNumber) result_set = cursor.fetchall()
Also, in the future when using commit,
both cursor.commit
and con.commit
do the same thing, you only need one.
Finally, I’d get used to calling execute with the second arguement as a tuple:
cursor.execute(SQL_command, (queueNumber,))
The way you have it works for pyodbc
but is not DB API standard.
