Strange SQLAlchemy error message: TypeError: 'dict' object does not support indexing

Question

I am using hand crafted SQL to fetch data from a PG database, using SqlAlchemy. I am trying a query which contains the SQL like operator \'%\' and that seems to throw SqlAlc

Answer 1

SQLAlchemy has a text() function for wrapping text which appears to correctly escape the SQL for you.

I.e.

res = executeSql(sqlalchemy.text(sql))

should work for you and save you from having to do the manual escaping.
