[sqlalchemy] Handling of currency values

2008-02-02 Thread Werner F. Bruhin

I am converting an existing Firebird DB over to use sqlalchemy (0.4.0) 
and I can't figure out how to define the model for currency values.

In the DB they are defined as numeric(18,2) default 0 and in the model I 
do e.g.

sa.Column(u'cbb_currentvalue', 
sa.Numeric(precision=16,length=2,asdecimal=True)),

However I don't get the trailing zero in my wxPython application, i.e. 
when I debug it I get:

Decimal(26.2) or Decimal(0)

I would have expected:

Decimal(26.20) or Decimal(0.00)

What am I missing?

Appreciate any hints on this
Werner

[sqlalchemy] Re: Handling of currency values

2008-02-02 Thread sdobrev

according to sqlalchemy/types.py, the Decimal() is used straight away, 
without any precision etc stuff. the numeric(precision/length) are only for 
the db. i assume u have to use some precision-context around your db-related 
stuff.

[sqlalchemy] expunge vs clear

2008-02-02 Thread Jonathon Anderson

I'm using an orm configuration with a sessionmaker().mapper doing the
mapping between my classes and my metadata.

The documentation says that doing a Session.clear() should do the
equivalent of a Session.expunge(inst) for all instances attached to
the session.

I have one instance attached to the session, and do a Session.clear();
but if I then re-query to get that instance, I get

InvalidRequestError: Could not update instance '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
identity key (class 'cobalt.model.base.Job', ('localhost', 0),
None); a different instance with the same identity key already exists
in this session.

If I replace the Session.close() with a Session.expunge(inst), the
error goes away.

Any ideas?

[sqlalchemy] How do I Instantiate a class with an Auto-assigned Key ID

2008-02-02 Thread jdcman

our members table has an ID as the primary key with an auto-assigned
key ID.

When we create the class it is instantiated with the ID and also
returns an ID.

obviously if we provide an ID it conflicts with the auto-generated ID.
and if we don't provide an ID it says we didn't provide enough
variables to instantiate the class
so how do we define our class so that it can return an ID but doesn't
require one to instantiate the class?
