Connection Issue: AttributeError "Can't set attribute" /DataBase Error "Server closed the connection unexpectedly"

[lendup-cody]

I'm getting a strange set of errors when trying to establish a database connection. Initially, it gave me:

    273                 attr = "_" + col.name
    274             #print col
--> 275             setattr(self, attr, col)
    276
    277         self._cur.execute(self._query_templates['system']['foreign_keys_for_table'].format(table=self.name))

AttributeError: can't set attribute

Since this is a pretty complicated database, I thought that it might help to exclude system tables, so I set that parameter in the DB() call to True. Then, when I ran that same call call successive times, it began to alternate between the above error and this followingerror (I never seemed to get the same one two times in a row, so it does appear to be strict alternation.)

    275             setattr(self, attr, col)
    276
--> 277         self._cur.execute(self._query_templates['system']['foreign_keys_for_table'].format(table=self.name))
    278         for (column_name, foreign_table, foreign_column) in self._cur:
    279             col = getattr(self, column_name)

DatabaseError: server closed the connection unexpectedly
    This probably means the server terminated abnormally
    before or while processing the request.
