Psycopg2 returns a string, not a particular type. My application is an editor of db tables, that autoloads tables. Of course every time an unknown type is met it raises a bad error. How do you consider it's better to cope with this situation? In particular this inet type is written by Django in the comments_(free)comments table, so no way to autoload that table. In my version Patching my personal copy is not handy, and postgesql.py doesn't support other Postgres types as well (eg: arrays, geometric, network, bit).

I'm a little confused. table.c[attr_name].type would return something like this: <sqlalchemy.databases.postgres.PGInt object at 0xb6d5b92c> How can I get: <sqlalchemy.types.Integer> Thanks sandro *:-) -- Sandro Dentella *:-) http://www.tksql.org TkSQL Home page - My GPL work --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
