如何使用Python和PostgreSQL使用INET类型？

Question

我正在编写一个使用PostgreSQL数据库的Python3程序，我正在使用py-postgreesql： http：//python.projects.postgresql.org/ 作为数据库驱动程序。 一个表使用INET类型存储IP地址。

我已经创建了以下准备的声明：

aID = db.prepare('SELECT id FROM a_records WHERE ip = $1 LIMIT 1')

.

调用辅助（IP）时，我收到以下错误：

（IP是python字符串）

 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.1/dist-packages/postgresql/driver/pq3.py", line
1517, in __call__
    c = SingleXactFetch(self, parameters)

任何人都可以帮助我调试这个并找出为什么PostgreSQL不喜欢INET数据？

谢谢！

Answer 1

@mrlanrat, it's because the python library is sending your parameters as a TEXT data type but PostgreSQL is expecting an INET data type. Your example there changes the parameters so that PostgreSQL is expecting a TEXT data type, which it then casts in to an INET data type. I know that psycopg2 supports an INET data type but I'm pretty sure the current version of py-postgresql doesn't support the data type (as of 2011-05-19). Which means you have three options:

1. py-postgresql needs to add support for the INET data type
2. you get to pass in data of type TEXT and then cast it to INET on the server
3. switch to psycopg2, which does support the INET data type.

I've been having this problem all day, and I could not find any solution, so obviously I found the solution on my own a few minutes after posting here.

I need to replace $1 with inet($1::varchar), it seems that postgresql does not like it being a string when converting to an inet value, and you must typecast it as a varchar, and then turn the value into an inet variable.

So, the working line is:

aID = db.prepare('SELECT id FROM a_records WHERE ip = inet($1::varchar) LIMIT 1')

Can anyone explain why this is, and why it wont work the way I tried to at first?

Thanks!

You should explicitly cast string to inet data type.

aID = db.prepare('SELECT id FROM a_records WHERE ip = inet($1) LIMIT 1')
