My apologies - I forgot to mention the photo field is a LONG RAW and that the table already exists.
In the table definition the field is now defined as Column ('employee_photo', OracleRaw(100000)) and code that is trying to write to the table is: u = idworks.update().where(idworks.c.emplid=='800014023').values (date_acquired=bindparam('date_acquired'), employee_photo=bindparam ('employee_photo', type_=OracleRaw(100000))) dbconn.execute(u, photo=img, date_acquired='20-JAN-2009', employee_photo=img) Here is the error: ORA-22835: Buffer too small for CLOB to CHAR or BLOB to RAW conversion (actual: 11813, maximum: 2000) Gregg. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
