make python wait for stored procedure to finish executing

Question

I have a python script that uses pyodbc to call an MSSQL stored procedure, like so:

cursor.execute(\"exec MyProcedure @param1 = \'\" + myparam + \"\'\")
         


        

Answer 1

i think my way is alittle bit more crude but in the same time much more easy to understand:

cursor = connection.cursor()
    SQLCommand = ("IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs J JOIN 
msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity A ON A.job_id = J.job_id WHERE J.name ='dbo.SPNAME' AND 
A.run_requested_date IS NOT NULL AND A.stop_execution_date IS NULL) select 'The job is 
running!' ELSE select 'The job is not running.'")
    cursor.execute(SQLCommand)
    results = cursor.fetchone()
    sresult= str(results)
    while "The job is not running" in sresult:
        time.sleep(1)
        cursor.execute(SQLCommand)
        results = cursor.fetchone()
        sresult= str(results)

while "SPNAME" return "the job is not running" from the jobactivity table sleep 1 second and check the result again. this work for sql job, for SP should like in another table
