All I'm getting is a string of sql, I don't know what column names are included in that, and even if I did, I wouldn't know the schema of the table to know what they should be mapped to. How can I influence what column type is mapped to a particular python type without knowing the names or types of the columns? cheers, Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups sqlalchemy group.

All I'm getting is a string of sql, I don't know what column names are included in that, If you don't know your columns, neither does SQLAlchemy.Depending on your DBAPI you may be able to get the DBAPI itself to not use the Decimal type, see the docs on your DBAPI for information on type coercion at the DBAPI level. Otherwise, you'd filter your result set, do isinstance(x, Decimal), convert to float. You may be able to use result.cursor.description if the DBAPI returns reasonable types. We could someday add an execution_option() that allows a map of DBAPI types mapped to result types to be passed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups sqlalchemy group.

[sqlalchemy] getting floats instead of decimals from session.execute
Hi All,
If I'm doing:
session.execute('select some_numeric from some_table')
...how do I get floats back in the result instead of decimals?

Re: [sqlalchemy] getting floats instead of decimals from session.execute
use text() with Numeric(as_decimal=False)
