Description

With the Database Manager open, and when connected to a database (either PostGIS or Spatialite) the SQL Window (F2) cannot be launched. Nothing happens when you have a table or other object selected and you try to open the window. If you have the database itself selected, a Python error is thrown (pasted below). Another user posted the same problem on the listserv about a month ago:

http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/DB-Manager-SQL-window-does-not-open-td5289561.html

Similar to her, I'm running 2.14.5 Essen on a 64-bit Linux Mint 17.3 (Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty base) machine.

#1 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 7 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to Feedback

I cannot confirm on either Windows and Linux, using the latest available versions of LTR. Is this still true for you?

#2 Updated by Frank Donnelly over 7 years ago

I just tried it again using 2.14.9 Essen on Linux - Linux Mint 17.3 (on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty base) 64 bit - and I'm still getting the same Python error. I have also tried 2.14.9 on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine and did not get the error there.

#3 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 7 years ago

It works fine here on 2.18.2 on the same platform. Could you test with 2.18.2 and/or with the latest ltr (2.14.10)?

#4 Updated by Frank Donnelly about 7 years ago

I just tried it again on the latest LTR - 2.14.10, on the same OS - Linux Mint 17.3 64 bit (on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty base) and am still getting the same error - re-pasted below. I've also tried it on MS Windows and never had a problem - problem only seems to be on Linux.

I'll try 2.18 and see if it works - but I work in an academic environment and we only use the LTR versions there, and won't update until the next LTR comes out.

Linux or just Linux Mint with a specific DE (Cinnamon? Mate? else?). Can you test (maybe in a VM) if the same happens on other distributions or DEs?

#6 Updated by amedeo fadini about 7 years ago

Just happened in 2.14.10 LTR on Ubuntu 14.04 (osgeolive9.5 with updates). Until yesterday it worked fine. Something related apt-get upgrade.

will give it a try then.

#8 Updated by amedeo fadini about 7 years ago

Nope,
didn't found anything meaningful in apt-get and Synaptic history... (the upgrade was proposed by system)

I've got it working commenting line 73 in /usr/share/qgis/python/plugins/db_manager/dlg_sql_window.py

#9 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 7 years ago

I really cannot replicate (on the same Linux platforms) this issue, anyway the new LTR is due very soon, and 2.14.* is unlikely to get any fix.
Please test 2.18.4 and see if there you have the same problem or not. Thanks!

#10 Updated by Bernd Marcus about 7 years ago

I had the same error message by trying to call the sql-editor with all QGIS 2.14 versions. An upgrade to 2.18.4 solved the problem on openSuse 42.1

Good. As 2.18 will be the next release, and that is due pretty soon, I'm not really sure that 2.14 will receive any fix/backport in the future, so my gues is that this ticket should be closed.

#12 Updated by Frank Donnelly about 7 years ago

Thanks for investigating this. In my environment I have to stick with an LTR release so I'll wait for the big 3.0 to come out. My work-around has been to use the database GUI's (pgAdmin or Spatialite GUI) and create spatial views whenever I need to visualize a query in QGIS.
