Cleaning up a session

If your application uses the with keyword, the 1010ata Insights Platform session is cleaned up automatically at the end of the with statement. If your application does not use with, you need to clean up the platform session when you've completed the transaction.

The Session class contains a Close method, which cleans up the session when it is invoked. Depending on the login type that was used to create the platform session, there are a few different ways the session may be cleaned up. If you are a single user logged in with py1010.POSSESS, the platform session continues to run. If you're a single user logged in with py1010.KILL or py1010.NOKILL, the platform session is terminated. A SAM pool user platform session is released back into the pool.

Cleaning up a session when it is no longer needed is particularly important if you have multiple users sharing a pool of IDs (SAM pool). Waiting for the garbage collector to clean up Session objects may result in a pool that appears fully utilized, but is waiting for Session objects to be destroyed. For more information about SAM pools, see Shared Access Management (SAM).

The most efficient and effective way to release user IDs back to the pool is to invoke the close method, either by explicitly calling it or employing with, which invokes it at the end of the statement.

Using the with keyword:

import py1010
import sys

gateway = "https://www2.1010data.com/cgi-bin/gw"
tablename = "pub.demo.weather.stations"
username = "[USER_NAME]"
password = "[PASSWORD]"

with py1010.Session(gateway, username, password, py1010.POSSESS) as testSession:
    exampleQuery = testSession.query(tablename, '<sel value="(elev>10)"/>')
    exampleQuery.run()
    for r in exampleQuery.rows:
        print("\t".join([str(x) for x in r]))

Using the close method:

import py1010
import sys

gateway = "https://www2.1010data.com/cgi-bin/gw"
tablename = "pub.demo.weather.stations"
username = "[USER_NAME]"
password = "[PASSWORD]"

testSession = py1010.Session(gateway, username, password, py1010.POSSESS)
exampleQuery = testSession.query(tablename, '<sel value="(elev>10)"/>')
exampleQuery.run()
for r in exampleQuery.rows:
    print("\t".join([str(x) for x in r]))
testSession.close()
