Trying to fix the NumericTest (testtypes.py) for firebird backend, I came to this patch for FBNumeric:
+ def bind_processor(self, dialect): + return None + + def result_processor(self, dialect): + if self.asdecimal: + return None + else: + def process(value): + if isinstance(value, util.decimal_type): + return float(value) + else: + return value + return process This made the test run fine... but, when I looked for the implementation for the other databases, I noticed Oracles's numeric type (OracleNumeric) doesn't do this "float(value)" conversion, unlike Postgres's version (PGNumeric), which does... Why is that ? Doesn't Oracle have a FLOAT type too ? I also noticed that the CREATE TABLE statement for FB is always creating NUMERIC type columns for those declared as Float()... Is that desired ? Shouldn't they be created as FLOAT ? Cheers, Roger --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
