mistercrunch opened a new pull request #4724: Improve database type inference
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/pull/4724
 
 
   Python's DBAPI isn't super clear and homogeneous on the
   cursor.description specification, and this PR attempts to improve
   inferring the datatypes returned in the cursor.
   
   This work started around Presto's TIMESTAMP type being mishandled as
   string as the database driver (pyhive) returns it as a string. The work
   here fixes this bug and does a better job at inferring MySQL and Presto 
types.
   It also creates a new method in db_engine_specs allowing for other
   databases engines to implement and become more precise on type-inference
   as needed.
