Mr. Bayer, you know entirely too much about all kinds of databases.
A follow-up question to your erudite comment (and let me first say
that I love sqlalchemy and have spent a good amount of time immersed
in its documentation before posting):
I tried running an update query of the form
conn.execute(tbl.update().where(tbl.c.name=='test').values
(title='updated_title'))
FWIW the column was setup as follows (in PostgreSQL 8.2):
Column('updated', DateTime, onupdate=func.now())
After running above code and requerying the db, the 'updated' column
is still null.
I also tried using func.current_timestamp() with no luck.
Any tips you are able to provide are greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Atom
