I stand corrected! I believe the oracle / mssql drivers do this typecasting interally and that still feels cleaner, however if someone wanted to take a look at that logic and pull it into the postgres / mysql adapters we can see what breaks / doesn't. -- Cheers Koz --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
