sqlalchemy declarative_base not found

hi, I’m running two free services, one maintains my code directly from GitHub and the other maintains the PostgreSQL database, but I’ve had problems when executing a post that saves data in the database, when testing both code and database work, even committing to the database server works, but not in the python environment that you bring up. I write the error below

I would appreciate a little help.

Hi Juan,

This appears to be an application level issue and while we can’t provide too much support for these types of issues I did find this on SO https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18445772/sqlalchemy-exc-unboundexecutionerror-could-not-locate-a-bind-configured-on-mapp which might be helpful.

Hello, I have verified that answer before without success, searching the internet, I have found information that talks about the drivers that handle the pgsql connection, I really don’t know, but I have tried in other application containers and I have the same problem, maybe the development environment in the cloud has something different that does not allow it to function normally

Double check the environment variable, SQAlchemy create engine requires postgresql while Render provides DB URL with prefix postgres.

Hello, I modify the connection string, but the same error continues, I changed postgres to postgresql, I don’t know if it was what you told me, or do I have to create an environment variable in configuration that points postgresql to postgres?
thanks.

Hi Juan,

Have you been able to replicate this issue using your Python application with a local Postgres instance? Also these sqlalchemy docs might help simplify your connection logic.
