Thanks Michael, that works neatly.

Hello
I have Oracle Express Release 10.2.0.1.0, SQLAlchemy 0.4.5, Python 2.5.2 on
Ubuntu x86 8.04.
When I go through the ORM tutorial at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/04/ormtutorial.html it fails at the first
query below the heading *Saving Objects* with an Oracle ORA-01400 error as
follows:
sqlalchemy.exceptions.DatabaseError: (DatabaseError) ORA-01400: cannot
insert NULL into (BRUCE.USERS.ID)
'INSERT INTO users (id, name, fullname, password) VALUES (:id, :name,
:fullname, :password)' {'fullname': 'Ed Jones', 'password': 'edspassword',
'name': 'ed', 'id': None}
My create_engine string was
engine = sa.create_engine('oracle://bruce:[EMAIL PROTECTED]', echo=True)
The superficial reason for the error is obvious. Is this an Oracle
eccentricity? Is there a workaround?
With Oracle, SQLA needs you to supply a Sequence for each column which
you'd like to have autoincrementing behavior - the tutorial assumes all
primary key columns are autoincrementing.SQLA will issue the CREATE
SEQUENCE for you upon table.create(), but you need to just give it a name
(the Oracle crowd, in my experience, appreciates no names of anything being
guessed):
Column('id', Integer, Sequence('mytable_id_seq'), primary_key=True)
