Hello,

I read http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration and did not see a
mention of any changes to type mapping or casting.

I am currently using 0.5.5. While developing an application I found that
generating tables from a declarative model resulted in undesirable /
incorrect column types, so I had to create the tables using a SQL script
directly.

Also, percious had to add explicit casting into Sprox to make sure that
integer column values from the db were cast as ints, which is not needed
for PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQLite.

We have worked around these issues, but it just seems that the Oracle
adapter is not behaving like those of other databases. Is this intended
behaviour or a known issue?

NB. I just read about the related changes in trunk now, I haven't tested
it yet.

On a related note, I am afraid I am likely unable to contribute code to
SA myself. However, for what it's worth, I can offer to host dedicated
virtual machines in our racks, running the free Oracle Express Edition,
for any SA developers who would benefit from such access.

Thanks & Regards,

Teemu Yli-Elsila
