Exception while using the connection string with postgres

[zugspitze]

Hi, I am getting the following exception when using the connection string.

engine = SCHEMES[url.scheme] if engine is None else engine KeyError: 'postgresql+psycopg2'

Also my connection string starts with postgresql+psycopg2

Can you please suggest me how to fix it?
Thanks!

Do you have any more context around this issue?

Two PRs for this:

• Better error on missing schema #196 makes the error a lot clearer
• Support the postgresql+psycopg2 case #197 supports the actual schema case

The connector for postgres connections is postgres no need to use the +psycopg connection part. This is because under the hood it uses the same Django postgres connector. I would say we do not support adding aliases and instead improve the error handling. As I see @palfrey has suggested in another message.

Happy for me to merge #196 then?

@zugspitze With the current master branch of this repo, you should now get a better error message, and so should be clear to change the schema to postgres now.
