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

I cannot find the "executeSql" in sqlalchemy version 1.2 docs , but the below line worked for me

engine.execute(sqlalchemy.text(sql_query))

Answer 2

One more note- you must escape (or delete) % characters in comments as well. Unfortunately, sqlalchemy.text(query_string) does not escape the percent signs in the comments.
