[sqlalchemy] Minor documentation mistake related to Unicode?

[sqlalchemy] Missing Sequences

2007-12-18 Thread Jonathan Gardner
I don't know what the design decisions were regarding the Sequence object, so bear with my ignorance for a moment here. I played with SQLAlchemy in conjunction with Pylons. I had code that looked like this: links_table = Table('links', metadata, Column('id', types.Numeric(),

[sqlalchemy] Querying for Date column value

I have a table with a Date column. Why does a python datetime match the value and a python date does not? For example: # example table institutions_table = Table('institutions', meta, Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True), Column('report_date', Date), ... this works:

Sorry, Database is sqlite. From my understanding sqlite would store the value as a string. From running the following test it seems that the orignal type of value stored (datetime vs date) is being maintained in sqlite regardless of the Column type: import datetime from sqlalchemy import *

I should probably add that I'm curious if this is the desired behavior. From my (relatively inexperienced) point of view it seems that sqlalchemy should try to return whatever the programmer is expecting as designated by the column type. - Justin On Dec 18, 2:03 pm, Justin [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Same here on pymssql. I tried it with 'start' as the only PK, and with both 'identifier' and 'start' as PK. Both work fine. Are you sure your in-database tabledef matches your declared schema? I've attached a script that works here. This one has both 'identifier' and 'start' set as PK.
