I can't connect Django 1.6.1 with SQL Anywhere 11 Database

1

Hi everybody...

I need connect django with sql anywhere 11 database, i follow the instructions on the page "SQL Anywhere Django Driver" from github.

I created the database with this command C:\>dbinit -z UCA django.db --> (database created successful)

I started the Database Server with command C:\>dbsrv11 django.db --> (database server started successful)

I created my project with C:\>django-admin.py startproject mysite (at this point all it's ok)

I edit the file mysite/mysite/settings.py and I changed the DATABASES setting with this

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
                        'ENGINE': 'sqlany_django',
                        'NAME': 'django',
                        'USER': 'dba',
                        'PASSWORD': 'sql',
                        'OPTIONS': {'eng': '2638'},
                        'HOST': 'localhost',
                        'PORT': '2638',
    }
}

The problem is, when I want sync database using this command

c:/mysite>python manage.py syncdb

I get "Database server not found" error.

Please help me, I don't know how resolve this problem

Even I test the connection with a file (test_sqlany.py) this file contents following code

import sqlanydb
conn = sqlanydb.connect(uid='dba', pwd='sql', eng='django', dbn='django')
curs = conn.cursor()
curs.execute("select 'Hello, world!'")
print "SQL Anywhere says: %s" % curs.fetchone()
curs.close()
conn.close()

I, get get the expected output:

c:\>python test_sqlany.py
SQL Anywhere says: Hello, world!

I have an environment for test with this caracteristics

  • O.S.: Windows XP DB Engine:
  • SQL Anywhere 11 with EBF 3069
  • Python 2.7
  • Django 1.6.1
  • Setuptools installed
  • PIP installed
  • sqlanydb installed
  • sqlany-django installed

The problem is this line:

'OPTIONS': {'eng': '2638'},

The '2638' should be the name of your server, which judging by your test_sqlany.py file should be "django". Replace it with:

'OPTIONS': {'eng': 'django'},

Hi, Graeme Perrow thanks for the answer.

I, replaced 

'OPTIONS': {'eng': '2638'},

with

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'sqlany_django',
        'NAME': 'django',
        'USER': 'dba',
        'PASSWORD': 'sql',
        'OPTIONS': {'eng': 'django'},
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '2638',
    }
}

but another error raised

django.db.utils.OperationalError: Syntax error near ',' on line 1

I, check this thousands of times and I, can't see the error

'PORT': '2638', <= that comma is unnecessary

The fact that you're getting an error from opening a cursor means that the connection succeeded. The syntax error is in your SQL query.
