Using python sqlalchemy to execute raw queries with WITH statement

Question

I\'m trying to insert values into a Postgres11 database with raw sqlalchemy text() queries. The following SQL query works correctly when I run it through psql-clien

Answer 1

I had a similar issue and the following code helped me. Without the conn.execute("COMMIT;") part, I was not able to see all my changes reflected in my database.

with self.engine.begin() as conn:
    conn.execute(sql_query)
    conn.execute("COMMIT;")

Answer 2

My question got answered on github.

The solution is to wrap the execute in a transaction context:

with engine.begin() as conn:
   conn.execute("whatever")
